Court Suit
c.1810
France
This three piece suit is exemplary of skilled French embroidery and the silhouette of men's court wear during the time of Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821). Bonaparte revived the importance of court traditions when he crowned himself Emperor in 1804. This revival necessitated the recreation of acceptable court dress, which had been defunct since the elaborate and costly court of Louis XVI (1754-1793) prior to the French Revolution. The intricate embroidery pattern is intriguingly mimicked between the waistcoat and coat, reinforcing its status as a full suit. (The MET)

Napoleonic Era Court Suit
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Description from the Met:
By the early nineteenth century, menswear had become more somber in color and simplified in decoration, a direct influence of English styles. This suit, however, illustrates Napoleon's revival of extravagant ancien régime styles for wear at court. Politically and economically motivated, this revival was calculated to boost the foundering fashion-related industries in France.

OK so I just started watching Suits to see what the big deal was. And then I started shipping these two. I came to tumblr and surprise, I wasn't the only one to ship them? It felt validating.
So anyways, I was just watching this scene and maybe someone might have said this already, but in this scene Mike does not tie his bowtie properly. And we kind of know he didn't use to own suits of his own or didn't wear them much. So it's safe to assume he didn't actually tie his own bowtie when he came out of the car.
And now I can't just stop imagining Harvey leaning across the seat, getting real close as he fiddles with Mike's bowtie. Tying it with practiced fingers, his knuckles brushing Mike's upturned neck.
It's just too much...help! These two have so much more chemistry than their potential love interest and it's crazy.
