You'll have to be a bit more specific then just 'Mad Men' suits as the suits in the program span a range. The English characters wear English cut suits, the Europeans wear a European, more specifically an Italian cut and the Americans tend to wear American cuts. T
hen there is a range of eras. The younger characters wear 1960's trends the older characters wear a more traditional classic cut and some of the frumpier characters wear generic off the rail Brooks Brothers mass production suits. 'Mad Men' covers a range.

I would guess that you mean an older style suit then the slim fit suits that pervade the rails of the shops at the moment. Look for anything that has a slightly wider lapel and broader shoulders. Look for pleated trousers rather then flat front. That will give you the impression of the suit you are looking for.
Hit the second hand and charity shops.
