My Mad Men Coat

When Mad Men started in 2007 Kate Spade stock must have sky rocketed because that show is basically what she imagines the world to look like. I picture KS wondering around her house with a

martini in hand wearing one of those crazy ostrich feather hats on her head, looking like she just stumbled out of a Breakfast at Tiffany’s themed costume party. Its so over the top and maintaining a look like that shows serious class and sophistication. I say FUPA way too much to feel like such a classy lady. Just the other day I said the super ladylike post sex comment, “That was a queef, not a fart.” Good god, whoever farts during sex can just pack it in and call it a life because they are fucking helpless.

I bought this jacket at a senior center about 10 years ago. I really love the color, feminine collar, sleeve length, and the big buttons, however I never wore it! I think I was hesitant to dress it down, but it certainly is a pretty coat and very Mad Men.

 

To modernize the look, class it down, I paired it with a romper and Ray Bans. Got to be careful with those rompers though. Eat half a sandwich and then a FUPA explodes out on you, like an unexpected flat tire. Needless to say, not a great beer-drinking outfit, but then again, this look is for martinis and chain smoking, classy stuff.

The coat is for sale on my eBay site for $50. I was going to make it cheaper, but then I googled the brand, and it is some high quality shit, Pendleton. I might even keep the fucker now, especially since it is made from “virgin wool” which sounds pretty... gross, actually. Link to eBay sale
