Suits in business settings and court are fucking silly. They should entirely dispense with all formal dress.

But as long as the geriatrics and stiffs demand them in court, under the pretense courts are sacred, and one gets any more “justice” than he can pay for, I’ll play the game. If you have to appear in a joker’s cathedral, at least signal to the other clowns: I had it tailored better than yours.

...And I’ll live long enough to see efficient people dispense with this brand protection uniforming, old man.
