"Up this week in our Q&amp;amp;A with Mad Men costume designer Janie Bryant: Bobby Draper, Dandy Jr.\n\nFacebookPinterest\n\n I love him so much. Bless his heart, Mason [Vale Cotton] had about six costume changes. I always think of his character as a dirty little kid. We apply ketchup to his shirts. We'll get out fabric scissors, a wire brush, and sandpaper to rough up his clothes. Sometimes we even have him sit in dirt. The thing is he's actually a super clean kid in real life!\n\nMore with Bryant after the jump...\n\nThree moments stand out. First one was when he brought those seriously stylish pajamas again. Those could've come from a Prada show. \n\n Those are period pajamas I found. I loved the print on them. Vintage pajamas, especially for kids, are so hard to find.\n\nIf a guy wanted to bite Don Draper's bedroom style, where would he go?\n\n People wear pajamas until they're worn out, so it's really hard to find them in good shape. Western Costume supplies most of Don's on the show. The best place to get that style though is Brooks Brothers. They have those classic old white pajamas with the dark piping. If you're more resourceful, look for somewhere that carries dead stock [ed note: clothes that have never been worn]. Or just go to Canal Street in New York. They seem to have everything at those old fashion stores.\n\nBobby also looked studly in that blood-red coat.\n\n Yes! It's an old vintage wool duffel. You can't see it on the show, but it actually has a beautiful American flag embroidered on the inside. Then he has the high-top vintage Converses and khakis, too. It's all so perfectly Bobby because he's this very all-American boy. I always see those kids as being East Coast preppy.\n\nHe got pretty jazzed up for that Thanksgiving feast, too.\n\n I felt like Betty Draper Francis would insist on the children dressing up for Thanksgiving dinner. It's a custom that doesn't happen often now, but, back then definitely would have in their family.\n\nWhat was the thought behind this look?\n\n Well, the props department made that little head-piece out of construction paper. The choice of sports coat was really important though. I wanted Bobby to contrast with Henry, so I put him a very wool-y glen plaid. It's a little more playful and young than Henry's classic gray suit which was befitting of a politician. That brown color was very popular back then. Plus, earth tones naturally felt just right for a kid who is a little messy.\n\nFor more from Janie Bryant, visit her website and check out our previous interviews."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
