Look like Don Draper in new "Mad Men" suit at Brooks Brothers

Brooks Brothers has introduced a new limited-edition suit that looks plenty like something love 'em or hate 'em Don Draper might wear on the AMC show Mad Men.

The clothing store chain collaborated with Mad Men's costume designer Janie Bryant on the suit. It has "razor sharp 1960s tailoring" that's been reinterpreted for today, according to the company.

What exactly does that mean, for those who weren't stylin' in the 1960s? The suit has a trimmer silhouette and period details, including a two-button jacket in grey sharkskin fabric with narrow lapels, diagonal pockets and side vents. Plus, it was American made at Brooks Brother's Southwick plant in Haverhill, Mass.

There are only 250 of the suits available. Each has a commemorative "Mad Men Edition" label. Cost is $998. Buy it online at www.brooksbrothers.com and at select stores Monday through the season finale Nov. 8 (too soon!).

Which means it's a great time to buy a suit or two if you have a hard-to-fit size or are extra picky about things like fabric.

The store will have on hand a guest master tailor, a fabric specialist and a made-to-measure specialist. Some suit and shirt fabrics will only be available during the event.
