Interestingly, there is an American robe company which features several judicial collars, but all seem to be for women. They have a rather simple construction. You may click to see photos of them. I like the lacier ones. http://www.judicialrobesonline.com/products/index.cfm?fuseaction=showaccessories&store_id=J UD&CFID=1723979&CFTOKEN=12949383 There is an English Robe company that sells a jabot for 55 pounds. You can view it here with some nice tricorn hats: http://www.civicrobes.com/Pages/Robes/Accessories/Accesories.htm but, I think there is just too much lace on this jabot. It will take forever to make. In designing the jabots, perhaps it would be wise to take into account the individual tastes of the justices, since compliance with jabot wearing will be proportional to the amount that the judges likes his or her jabot. The women's news has some interesting comments about Rehnquist's taste in judicial wear. http://www.womensenews.org/article.cfm?aid=116&context=archive This is a quote from women's news: "Number One: On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, a big fan of Gilbert & Sullivan operettas by the way, announced he and four other justices had invalidated a law permitting victims of gender-based violence to sue their attackers in federal court. Rehnquist, whose black robe is adorned with four gold stripes like that of the exceedingly pompous and self-important Lord Chancellor in a G&S production, declared that "gender-motivated crimes of violence are not, in any sense, economic activity." Food for thought. Devon
