A small shop in Saguenay, Que., sewed up the contract to dress Canada’s highest court
CBC News: Romaine LeGallou heard the Supreme Court of Canada was turning 150 and needed a wardrobe update. And after that, everything seemed to happen so quickly.
She expressed interest. She got a call to make a pitch. Her company was chosen.
Then the real work began.

I had never thought about personalizing judge’s robes but thats actually a really fun idea and I think makes the judges seem a little more like humans and less like all-powerful entities. I also really like that the Canadian supreme court learned about a small, Canadian artisan company like this and chose to work with them instead of utilizing large corporations. I think more aspects of government should utilize and be dependent on the products and arts made by citizens. On another note, I think the US should bring back fancy dress codes for lawyers and judges. I really like that everyone is dressed for the occasion of court, while also getting to have a personalized element here and there. The US’s court is very boring and beureaucratic and everyone just looks sad. I have no doubt that the Canadian court is also boring and beaureaucratic, but at least they look cooler.
