Troy, When Judge Matt decrees a das boot, should Matt
be wearing a Court of Louis XIV powdered wig upon speak?
Charles Dickens understood the effect of wig and gown,
"Life in a wig is to a large class of people much more terrifying
and impressive than life with its own head of hair."
Horsehair wigs cost from about $700 to $1,500.
Judges get a stipend to cover the cost.
Barristers must buy their own.
Used wigs are in high demand,
as they acquire more cachet with age.
Critics say they also acquire an odor and are itchy.
Imagine this iHub Jailhouse
... the theatrics, the pomp, the performance...
... the KKD powdered sugar on Matt's powdered wig :o)
