The Backyard Groom's Inspiration

Meet The Backyard Groom's biggest inspiration:


I should probably clarify that I mean his wedding day style inspiration and not his marriage inspiration, since Don Draper clearly doesn't pay too much heed to those pesky marriage vows.

We love "Mad Men," not just because it's arguably the best show on television right now, but also because the cast is definitely the best dressed. When you can get even The Backyard Groom to comment on the style of the characters, you know it's good.

In fact, I love the look of the show's characters so much that instead of the ever-popular post-wedding chop, I've been considering coloring my blonde hair Joan Holloway-red.



But back to The Backyard Groom. We knew that a tux wouldn't feel right for The Backyard Wedding, so we have been planning on a suit. Although the search hasn't begun in earnest, The Backyard Groom has commented several times that he wants a suit like the kind Don Draper wears: fitted, skinny lapels, skinny tie, even the pocket square. Check out the full effect below:


He's not sure if he wants Don's favored charcoal gray or a more traditional black suit. But if we were having a daytime wedding, he would definitely want Don's commuting accessory, the fedora.


Anyone out there have any luck finding a suit in this style?
