It obviously limits your choice of color (and so I would suggest doing it only if you have several suits and can afford a certain look), but more than that I'm curious as to how the pocket squares are cleaned if they need to be I’ve heard of some men actually having their tailor sew the pocket square to jacket pocket itself.

They're always a little too big for him but I think that's part of his character. I actually prefer Pete Campbell’s suits in those great shades of blue.

I think Mad Men just opened the general public's eyes to what a different-shaped suit is, and how much better they look than your typical sack suit. That said, Thom Browne has been doing the Brooks Brothers Black Fleece line for a few years now, well ahead of this Mad Men craze, and he also has his own line, which is crazy expensive. All very reminiscent of the 60s slimmer, trim suits. For those who don't want to drop $1500+ on a suit, J Crew does a great version (the Ludlow jacket and classic-fit pants) and Club Monaco now does a real good impression of the Thom Browne fit. Both places, you can get suits for about $600. I'm all for bringing back suits with shapes.
