Man’s Coat

Artist/maker unknown, French

Date:

Striped silk lampas weave with silk embroidery in satin, stem, straight, and rope stitches, French knots, and appliquéd silk net

One ensemble, two styles!

This yellow-gold coat and white waistcoat are a great pair: from the elegant velvet to the detailed embroidery, this is a nice outfit with palm trees, awesome buttons and changeable cuffs. So you could decide to wear the matching palm tree cuffs or the plain yellow with buttons.

If you ask me, that’s an useful garment.

Man’s ensemble, ca. 1765, French, Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Thanksgiving is next week. No one in my family has listened yet to Hamilton. Do you see my problem?

[dammmithardison]

SOMEONE PLEASE STOP ME FROM WRITING A FIC ABOUT THE ACTUAL FOUNDING FATHERS (specifically alexander hamilton and thomas jefferson) ARGUING WITH EACH OTHER IN HEAVEN ABOUT THE MUSICAL “HAMILTON”

[hamiltasm]

I would read that.

[thebreakfastgenie]

you know in Helpless when Eliza’s like “thank you for all your service :)  and Alex is all “if it takes fighting a war for us to meet it will have been worth it” like okay that’s really sweet but also he’s full of shit this kid literally wrote “I wish there was a war” when he was fourteen fighting this war would have been worth it to him whether he met Eliza or not

[hamiltasm]

It's a total pickup line and very true to the spirit of the way Hamilton flirted with women. I love it!

I was messing around with some things on a friend’s desk today and suddenly, Hamilton appeared. Robot!Hamilton is not throwing away his shot! Also, congratulations to @elentaari, who listened to it for the first time today. Those of you who haven’t yet should definitely give it a try.
