I actually had Donald Draper’s hair style, in the 90s my mom use to comb it to the right side instead to the left and all you do is ask your barber that you want a regular cut, short on the top enough to comb it to the side and also he does the sides in a regularly way that he cuts it he’ll get it oh and of course don’t forget the taper it does make it more legit :) hope this helps

I love this article; I’m a 15 year old who, after going all his life with his mother cutting it at an all around 3 with the clippers, decided to add a little style. I go with a slightly longer version of ‘the Pete Campbell’ above with a far left part and style with Brylcreem. Ever since I made the change I have had a constant stream of complements heading my way. Now with my new wardrobe (also thanks to this site) I think I look quite nice, and everyone I meet seems to agree. Can’t see myself moving away from this style any time soon. Thank you AoM!

I never liked combing or styling my hair because it made me feel vulnerable. It showed that I was “trying”. My hair was usually shaggy, hoping to refelct that i didnt care about how i looked. Recently, though, I told my barber “lets do the don draper”. I put product in it and combed it perfectly with a wave in the front. I have never received more compliments on my hair before. I feel more confident and respected…funny eh?

I would love to see an AoM article on hairstyles that comply with military regulations. I can only get a skin-fade with a 3 on top so many times before I get sick of it. These are super classy, though.

I’ve been styling my hair like this for the past year and I’ve received lots of praise, I use Murrays Pomade, great shine and hold! Being a college student I do get a lot of stares from fellow classmates, but out of class I get lots of compliments…mostly from older women in their 40′s and stuff, I dont mind though. Classy hairstyle, and great look.

I have wanted that old school look for a while. I have very very dry coarse hair that resembles my dogs. I recently found a new barber and his products are amazing. Check out Robs Chop shop. Single barber chair (Paider), great atmosphere. Google it.

This is a great article. I’ve been wanting to try this look, but I’m still a bit cautious. I’m a fan of my mop-style look, because I think it looks good on me, it’s easy to maintain, and (most importantly) the bangs cover up my large forehead. Maybe I can try an old-school look for a while, then go back if I don’t like it…

shave it in !!!! @ iconic we started a bit of a trend shaving a (thin) line in the parting once we had styled and parted it. simply seeing where the parting sits best then exaggerating it with the trimmers and open razor and making it easier for our customers to recreate .

All of these styles look great, but what look should a guy go for who has a widow’s peak the size of Mt. Vernon? I’m asking for a friend, of course…

Hey, I’m sorry to doubt your sources but I read in this article that Gloria Ponce actually uses a different product for Jon Hamm’s coupe: http://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/10/30/look-the-part-2-mad-men-hair-uncovered/
