Thanks to costume designer Janie Bryant , Hamm's '60s ad man single-handedly revived an interest in the classic two-button suit.

Is there nothing Jon Hamm wouldn’t do for us, PopWatchers? Recall the promo poster for the upcoming season of Mad Men, in which Hamm as Don Draper sits in a flooded office. He tells the AV Club that “I sat in a giant tank of water for a solid Saturday, and it was kind of fun, actually. I mean, once you’re wet, you’re wet. You don’t get any more wet. So you’re just kind of like, ‘All right, here we are.’ And it was a bunch of crewmembers and waiters and an incredibly skillfully constructed set, and I think a pretty cool image that they got out of it as well. I’m sure they could have done some kind of photo trickery, but this makes for a better story, and it’s way cooler to go build it and do it for reals. I think online, there’s a time-lapse image of it filling up, too.'”

Two things. One, yes, and here is the video.

Two, Jon Hamm says “for reals”?! That sound you heard was me dying. I am now deceased, writing the rest of this post from my grave.

Hamm also might be a huge liar, because he said later in the interview “I’m certainly not the best-looking person on the planet.” Psst, Jon, you’re totally in the running!

Who’s counting down the days til the new season, PopWatchers? Sunday can’t come soon enough!
