The saying “No Shave November” is a movement that encourages people to grow their facial hair for cancer awareness. But in Australia, the month is celebrated as “Movember”. A campaign that focuses on men’s health, from mental wellbeing to prostate and testicular cancer.
Now, that movement has inspired a creation so unique that it earned a Guinness World Record. The world’s first suit made entirely from moustache hair.
To support this cause, Australian artist Pamela Kleemann-Passi, in collaboration with Bullfrog Creative Agency and menswear brand POLITIX, created something that stunned the world. He created the first ever suit made entirely from moustache hair.
The unusual suit was designed in November 2021 as part of POLITIX’s “Worn to be Heard” campaign, aimed at getting men to speak up about their health and seek help when needed. Millions of moustache hairs were donated by men who had experienced mental or physical health challenges. Additional hair came from Sustainable Salons, an Australian company that recycles 95% of salon waste, including human hair.
Pamela said she wanted the project to highlight how easily men’s health is often ignored. Inside the suit’s lining are the words, “Get tested, talk openly, and listen to your body,” written by her as a message to encourage men to take action about their health.
The artist explained that although she had previously worked with human hair in two-dimensional art, creating a full suit from moustache hair was a new and exciting challenge. “When I got the huge box filled with hair donations, I thought, ‘Wow, I can’t wait to get my hands in there and start!’” she said.
Working with Master Tailor Nicos Manolis and Head Pattern Maker Michael Tellis, Pamela carefully layered different shades of moustache hair between panels of black POLITIX cotton and fine tulle, forming what she called a “mo-hair sandwich.” She used a special blind hemming stitch that looks like a heartbeat monitor, symbolising life and strength.
The inside of the suit also carries handwritten messages from men who donated their hair, sharing words of hope, love, and encouragement to others.
Pamela dedicated the piece to her late husband, Passi Jo, who passed away from cancer in 2016. “He loved a smart, tailored suit and often grew a short-lived but impressive moustache,” she said. “The Mo-Hair Suit is my tribute to him and to all men who’ve lost their lives to prostate cancer, testicular cancer, or mental illness.”
When it was first shown on Australia’s Today Show, the Mo-Hair Suit immediately went viral. It later won Gold at the Spikes Asia Health Award and was featured at the Melbourne Fashion Festival.
Now recognised in the 2026 Guinness World Records, the Mo-Hair Suit isn’t just a creative masterpiece it’s a reminder to men everywhere to take care of their health, talk openly, and never stay silent.
