Loungerati endorses the Brooks Brothers "Mad Men Edition" suit. The limited edition gray static sharkskin suit is designed by Janie Bryant, AMC's Mad Men wardrobe designer. Only 250 will be produced and will be available from October 19 until the show's finale on November 8th.The suit features: a slim cut, two button, single breasted jacket with diagonal pockets, narrower notch lapels, and side vents. It has the early 1960s style but with that classic American style of JFK. In other words, the suit is not a costume but rather an ode to modern haberdashery's golden era.
You can order The Mad Men edition online or pick one up at selected stores ... while they last.
As a woman of the 60's this picture takes me back to the time when men were men, women were beautiful in their Balenciaga's, and Mad Men perfectly covers the "look". Those days were not all good for everyone, but the sense of style has never been equalled.
