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!).

Set in early 1960s New York, Mad Men centers around the ongoing drama of Don Draper (Jon Hamm), a quick-witted, high-level executive working for Sterling Cooper advertising agency on Madison Avenue, and his colleagues. While we undoubtedly watch this visually appealing, Golden Globe-winning series for its fascinating portrayal of life in the ‘60s, we may have noticed that its characters are always impeccably dressed.
To help us cop the style of the mad, mad world of 1960s Madison Avenue, we’ve assembled a collection of retro-inspired garments and accessories, so read on to learn how to make Draper and co.’s suave and debonair style work for us.
