Who doesn’t love Mad Men? No one right? Well no one reading this blog at least I bet.
I’m quite convinced the show alone has made men want to be men again.
It brought back the tie clip, the 3 piece suit and just being a dapper gentleman in general. It also brought back the classic cocktail – I mean why did we ever stop drinking a delicious beverage like the old fashioned.
Personally I have a slightly closer connection to the show, I mean, I’m no Don Draper, but I am a Creative Director in the advertising industry and FUN FACT I even worked as a creative director at the same agency that the show is inspired by – DDB (Hey, Its not a claim to fame, but I’ll take it)
So, when Birchbox approached me about giving away one of their Mad Men inspired boxes, I didn’t hesitate, in fact my reply was quite simply “I have just the outfit”
Style wise I’m much more of a Roget Sterling, you see, we seem to share a passion for fitted grey suits and pattern mixing.
So here we have it, a fitted Prince of wales patterned suit, a contrast collar shirt (complete with collar pin), a burgundy silk polka dot tie with colour matching pocket square, a simple brushed steel tie clip and a pair of woven tasselled loafers.
But you guys aren’t here for the pattern mixing today, oh no, you want to know what’s inside this box and of course how you can get your hands on one.
This is what my box contained when it arrived, but yours can contain any number of Mad Men inspired items, and if you subscribe before 11th of April, your first box will be a Birchbox + Mad Men special edition.
