Experts point out that wigs used by the judiciary are different from ordinary wigs. In England, there are three curls on each side of the judicial wig, but only two in the royal family. Whether this represents a subtle metaphorical meaning is unknown. But Scots are always quarrelling with English people, because in Scotland, the situation is just the opposite, the royal family uses three curly wigs and the judicial personnel only have two curly wigs.
The production cost of wigs lies in labor rather than materials, because it is not difficult to obtain horsehair, and the production of wigs is a delicate job, and it is impossible to mass-produce them by machines or production lines.
it takes a skilled craftsman about 44 working hours to produce a wig, including knitting and rolling. The finished products generally have four colors: white, golden yellow, light gray and gray. In some old British colonies, such as West Africa and the Caribbean, white is very popular, while in Britain, golden yellow and gray are the most popular.
Generally, a judge's wig costs more than 1,5 pounds (equivalent to about 18, yuan, wow, it's not cheap), and the most common wig is not less than 3 pounds.
Most people would rather bear lice than change wigs as often as ladies change their hats. The reason is not that they are reluctant to buy more wigs. It is based on a saying: the longer you wear a wig, the dirtier it gets, and the darker it is, which means that the longer you have to eat legal food. In the judicial field, qualifications and age are a treasure, just like old doctors in hospitals are the most popular. In a sense, the older the wig, the more time-honored it has become for lawyers to attract business, and the judge's antique wig is a signboard with rich trial experience.
After a law school student obtained the qualification as a lawyer, the best gift from his family or friends was a wig made by a famous designer. Many craftsmen who make wigs are inherited from their fathers, or even families, and their history of making wigs is longer than that of some British aristocrats.
Customizing wigs is also a process that needs patience, because many famous craftsmen have already made an appointment several years later. Even if they can be customized immediately, your skull needs to be measured by a ruler at least 12 times during the production process. This is not a requirement of craftsmen deliberately tossing you, but a requirement of exquisite craftsmanship.
Of course, you can buy a ready-made one, but after all, it's not as good as kissing your clever head gently as tailoring, not to mention that a wig bought casually is as rude as wearing jeans to a solemn banquet in the eyes of many legal persons. British people are known for their conservative spirit, especially in the judicial field. Justice requires accuracy and even rigidity, emphasizes stability and balance, and is less compatible with personalized things.
Many families of wigmakers keep records of every wig sold, requiring buyers to sign for the record. After hundreds of years, many famous people's autographs can be found in these records, because many famous politicians mostly worked as lawyers before they became famous.
The storage of wigs is also a meticulous job. Generally, each set of wigs is equipped with a ventilated iron box or wooden box, and some boxes are even another work of art that exists independently, and the value far exceeds the wig itself. At the earliest, in the days when lice often grew on British people's heads, wigs were sprinkled with some powder when they were stored to prevent lice.
