But seriously, it's a great show that resonates the more you watch it. Don't jump in in the middle, get Season 1 on DVD and start with that. The best-dressed guy on the show is Roger who is older and dresses in a more 50s style.

I just got back from browsing the TO store. An SA was telling me that they're getting 10 of the suits in in case anyone was interested.

If thin lapels are 2 years ago, what's "hip" now?

You don't like Draper's suits?

lapels that are proportionate to your body and the rest of your suit, in a style that complements your personality?

...and tie width that is also proportionate to your body (and to your jacket lapel).
