Agreed. I can only imagine how much fun it would've been to have had clothing forums back when Brideshead aired.

I am the only one who finds all this a little pathetic?

Distracted by the period fashion of the main characters? Do films set in the 70s or 80s likewise distract you?

, plenty of guys were dressing that way before anyone ever thought to pitch the tv show.


Agreed. I almost regret doing the MadMed contest because I am now that "Mad Men" guy in my social circles.

I thought I would post this from GQ's new web site blog. It is about the new BB Mad Men suit, which I must say I think is a bit cheesy of them, but I guess I can see why someone there thought it was a good idea. Anyway, Janie Bryant, the show's costume director, goes beyond BB and into a lot of the costume themes that have been discussed here. There is also a very nice picture of her!

Time to resurrect this thread yet again as the 4th season of Mad Men is but three weeks away. Attached is a nice review of the costumes for season 4 by Janie Bryant, the show's costume designer, which I got from the always fun Sartorially Inclined. She seems to be more focused on the women's costumes, but it is still interesting. As always: Discuss.

I'm one of those guys who doesn't get all the love for Christina Hendricks. Her breasts look like two big deflated tires.

I agree, these large breasted women look beastial. Poast some pictures of their ankles so we can assess their ability to carry heavy loads.

85% of posters here are size 36S, a woman like that is incredibly intimidating to them you know
