"  Honestly, this Sunday night was all about Mad Men. But of course I made time to turn my eye over toward the boardwalk for you gentlemen. Enough time to enjoy the fighting little people, the drunken Irishmen, and gutsy Mrs. Schroeder turning the tables on old Nucky. Hell hath no fury like a Suffragette scorned, apparently. Jimmy pumps poor mutilated Pearl (who still manages to look foxy in a face bandage) full of liquid heroin to kill the pain. Sadly, it doesn&amp;#039;t seem to be enough. Speaking of foxy: Jimmy. The blue shirt, the double-breasted vest, those stunning blue trousers, some jaunty rolled sleeves \u2014 that&amp;#039;s what we ladies call, um, a sex sandwich. Of course, buyer beware: this is a look best suited for the flat-bellies out there \u2014 no muffin tops allowed.  Naturally, Agent Van Nelson is wearing something a bit more forgiving when he accepts Margaret&amp;#039;s tattle tales \u2014 a plaid three-piece with a gorgeously severe pinned collar. His pleated trousers and longer coat would be a fine choice for a more portly gentleman, while the neat striped tie and vest add neat dash to the ensemble.  But the look of the night \u2014 and the season, and Hollywood these days, and on you, like, tomorrow \u2014 is military flourish. While Eli Thompson makes a fool of himself with his terrible public-speaking skills, he looks pretty damn fierce in that brown uniform of his. Ladies love a man in uniform, of course, but why? It comes down to archetypes, really. Epaulettes emphasize broad shoulders. Double breasts, bold buttons, and the diagonal swath of a chest holster highlight a shapely torso. Then there are the trappings \u2014 medals, bars, we&amp;#039;ll take whatever we can get. While it might be a bit excessive to go with a full-on, pageant-style shoulder sash, a subtle decorative accessory might be an interesting addition to your more serious suiting.  But if you&amp;#039;re gonna go for it, go with a brass-buttoned coat, a sharp, heavy leather piece of outerwear, or some heavy semi-drab, green wool trousers. Just go for it \u2014 the colder months call for it anyway. For a bit of flash, check out these natty &amp;quot;badges&amp;quot; from Dries van Noten. And fear not for the end of Mad Men \u2014 the boys of the Boardwalk dress better anyway. See you right here next week. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
