Re: I love Mad Men
I need to see this. Hopefully they sell it on DVD since I canceled my cable subscription after the '06 World Series.

Re: I love Mad Men
At the end of this week's episode was that the real Dinah Washington ?(I think her 8th husband was the immortal cornerback for the Detroit Lions: Night Train Lane. hey look it up in George Plimpton's Paper Lion) Or was it all Memorex?

Re: I love Mad Men
Mad Men is fantastic, last night's episode was awesome. Speaking of Paper Lion, i watched the Alan Alda film version on Retroplex the other night. Some great Ivy Style in that movie.

Re: I love Mad Men
Def one of my fave shows on TV right now.
The blue 3 button suit that Pete Campbell was wearing looked awesome. Dig the welted seams. His character also wore a really cool one button tonik looking suit in episode 1 that was the bees knees

Re: I love Mad Men
What i dig most are the rounded lapels. Pete has the slimmest pants of anyone on the show. I actually paused it (was watching On Demand) to get a glimpse of his cuffs. Such a geek i am. My g/f think's i'm nuts.

Re: I love Mad Men
the rounded lapels look so much better on a slim lapel than a wide one

Re: I love Mad Men
I just saw some of the previews for this show. I completely support the drinking at lunch and smoking all the time, if you can manage it. The cheating on your wife thing is a little more difficult to take, but I'm square on that account. Now, most of the clothes don't look necessarily "Ivy" to me, though there are elements of it for sure.
Maybe they should bust out the Alden Tassle loafers?

It's a shame large New York firms aren't like this anymore--at least the martini lunches and tolerance of inhaling tobacco substances.

Re: I love Mad Men
The character Harry Crane and Paul Kinsey are pretty Ivy in the episodes thus far. They are the young upstarts around the office. One is tends toward 3 button suits with bow ties and button downs. As it is I haven't had time to measure the shoulder slope with a protractor to see if he qualifies as trad. Pete Cambell and Don Draper are the flashiest characters who tend toward the continental suits.
Incidentally, I just picked this up...the guy who plays Bertram Cooper, the weird old guy with the no-shoes office......is Robert Morse....who I believe was in How to Succeed in Business (the film, not the play), which i believe has been mentioned on this board for it's Ivy style content.

Re: I love Mad Men
Madison Ave. was different from the Ivy League in the 1960s. Innovative, more relaxed. The styles were supposed to be looser. Love the drinking, though. If you were in advertising you weren't supposed to be quite reliable. Never worked there. But this was common knowledge growing up. Mad Ave was different.
