When we spend time with our spouses during the work day, it’s usually a 15 minute lunch date, max. But newlyweds Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka’s latest gig had them arm-in-arm for 24hrs. They’re the faces of London Fog’s winter campaign, and PEOPLE has an exclusive look at the new ads.

Though the couple will be working together on the show American Horror Story, “We’ve never represented a brand before,” says Harris. “I mean, it’s not bad to wear fun clothes and get to hang out with him at work.”
Their motivation to partner with London Fog came from the brand’s initiative to donate to one of their favorite charities, the Elton John AIDS Foundation. “He’s a good friend of ours, and they do incredible work. If all we have to do to give to a cause is look dashing,” he jokes. “We’ll do it every time.”
And dashing they were! They’re debuting the first men’s suiting collection and modeling some classic outerwear and accessories, including umbrellas. Plus, we’re betting styling this shoot was a dream: “We’re the same size, height and weight,” says Harris. “So we share one wardrobe.”

The host of the upcoming Oscars is no stranger to being a ham, but insists that the pics that will end up in the campaign are anything but campy.
“It’s a classy layout,” he says. “It’s not us grinning and being crazy. The pictures are foxy. It’s fun to be a bit of a model and purse your lips.”
Despite being able to play a model very well, Burtka reveals that Harris isn’t quite the fashionista he comes off as. “I tell him what to wear,” he says. “I love that he’s [considered a] fashion icon and it’s all because of me!”

So it’s true: The guy who gets decked out (and strips down!) on the regular for roles like Hedwig keeps it simple when he’s off duty. “I wear T-shirts and jeans, and he tells me not to,” says Harris. “The craziest I’ll go is a V-neck.”
