@Brett – Did you get to speak with Gloria? The only reason I ask is I found a NY Times blog post that says she uses some Redken and TRI products. The author did not speak to Gloria directly. He was relayed a message by the show’s press office.

Here’s a link to the article:

Thanks for the great post. I’m shopping around for a vintage haircut/good barber and this article will help my efforts.

I also have a natural part on the right. I am a right-hander, but I have a cowlick on the right just at the part with a natural wave in the front towards the left. If I forced my part on the left I would end up looking ridiculous, not powerful.

I think Gloria realizes this and that’s why Roger and Peter both have right parts.

Got a haircut. Short. Mad Men style. Took @artofmanliness's advice: http://tinyurl.com/yhyhr7u. Need Brylcreem. And a suit.

Trouble with having a haircut like this is that you have to dress appropriately – suit, shoes, hat etc etc. Then if you dress like that you end up looking like your going to a fancy dress party as a dad off a 50’s sitcom.

My point is this…no one would take you seriously if you turned up to work/a meeting/a date wearing these clothes or having this haircut. You’d look ridiculous. Attaining a manly look doesn’t nessecarily mean looking like these men. An example of a manly man with a modern look could be that of Alec Baldwin’s character in 30 Rock, Jack Doneghy.

Plus Don Draper cheated on his wife, whilst drink driving, so this discounts him from being a man to aspire to be. Mad Men is good television though.

With that hair cut, how would you comb your hair the days you don’t feel like putting all that stuff in your hair?

Haha! This is great! Try American Crew and I think you’ve got a winner.

Hey Brett. Really enjoyed reading your article. I have been wanting to try one of these haircuts for awhile. In your article you mentioned having your barber cut your hair so it is easier to maintain a part in it. I have been looking for a skilled barber who knows how to do this can you recommend a good one here in Tulsa that you use?? What do they do to make it easier to part?? Looking forward to getting the right cut, I picked up a tube of the brylcreem yesterday.

I want to read more ladies comments on how they like the Mad Men look…

By: James

I would have to disagree with some of imnocasablancas points, and agree with some. I’ve gone to the extreme and have used Royal Crown for the mega greasy/wet look for a sharper and what I think is a more formal look, but a part and a little dab of Brylcreem doesn’t merit some wingtips and a fedora. Alec Baldwin does have a clean look on 30 Rock though. I say, comb your hair and wear a collared shirt and you have a classic man look. A suit with a parted haircut means you care. Just don’t mop top it, you’re not the fifth Beatle.

Interesting article, it’s true that you see far too many middle aged men these days sporting hairstyles that look cool on guys 20 years younger than themselves. I realised aged about 28 that I could no longer carry off the spiky-at-the-front look that was so cutting edge for young men in the late ‘90’s.
However, I feel that the side parted, brylcreemed look is best left to my father’s generation. These days I sport a number 3 all over: It’s cheap (my wife does it), neat, easy to maintain and conveniently hides my advancing male pattern baldness.
