leschirons Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 HELP NEEDED. Thought I'd ask here first. Does anybody know why Steve Marriott, Kenney Jones, Ronnie Lane and Jimmy Winston decided to call themselves the Small faces? as the average male face width is between 12.8 and 13.2 cms and all four of theirs fall within these parameters. I had previously thought that they may have had some teenage friends with much larger faces thus meaning that their faces were indeed "smaller" but on investigation, this has not turned out to be the case!
