Re: I love Mad Men
Episode four has a great scene with the father with the madras bermudas, white polo shirt, and yellow seersucker jacket.
Episode five has a a great 3/2.5 grey jacket with double vent in one of the opening scenes. Episode five also has a great little discourse at the end on the differences of the drinking habits of the pre-WWII and the WWII generation.
Great clothing and scenery all around.
Even the ashtrays and cigarette holders are fantastic. Including the "oriental" or Chinoiserie accessories.
The subtle and not so subtle strains on members of the broken family are horrifyingly prescient of today.
The blond sorority wife puts every trad girlfriend thread to shame.

I'm enjoying watching fragments of this show on the Net - Very stylish.

Re: I love Mad Men
A few episodes are here:

do a search for "nem dam" (presumably to fool direct searching) on this site, and you'll come up with a few other episodes.

Christina Hendricks as Joan Holloway takes the cake in my opinion. She's the red-headed senior secretary. Hips I would follow off a cliff.

Re: I love Mad Men
I have seen part of an episode. They really went out of their way to give a feeling of "Golly gee, women do that!?" to it.
Clothes are a little overboard 60s without the Ivy League panache.

I would sell my grandma to the gypsies for 15 minutes with Ms. Hendricks.

Re: I love Mad Men
I think Roger Sterling dresses very respectable and almost, perhaps, Trad. His 3 piece 3-2 charcoal suit is awesome. Last episode he wore a very nice double breasted pinstripe. Pete Cambell's flashy, continental style is designed to give him the air of a young hotshot, and he by far wears the most teal sharkskin on the show. Draper's wardrobe seems to vary a bit, which seems to me more accurate to character and reality. It's not as if 1960 rolled around and people threw away all their suits from 1955 en masse. some of Draper's suits have more of an early-mid fifties vibe--roomier, true 3-button greys without alot of sheen. And then he's got some later 50s stuff, more tapered with little side vents. I don't think anyone on the show looks overly flashy or trashy for that matter, and i don't think it's at the Goodfella's level either.

Re: I love Mad Men
the shirts on almost all of the men are wrong. looks like they went into charles trwytt and just bought a boat load of white shirts.
they are all way to stiff looking and the collars are all too spread.
shirt collars were mostly point collars and linings were much softer.

Re: I love Mad Men
I noticed this too, sort of indirectly. I hadnt been paying much attention to the shirts, but i came to wonder if they were vintage as well. The definitely are not vintage. and there is something about a spread collar with a tie under 2in wide that does not work.

Episode 6:
http://stage6.divx.com/user/marry1339/video/1560521/nem-dam-106
At the end, Draper verbally slugs it out with the proto-hippie beatnick who gives him shit for advertising. He mentions, quite rightly, that the beat guy spends a lot of time on his hair. An interesting observation, since a lot of 60's rebellion was probably marketed by Mad Ave.
