Barristers fitted in long, black robes are one of the most distinguishing features of the legal profession. Barrister robes are the uniform of the legal profession, but there is certainly an air of prestige that comes with it. As such, it’s important for barristers to be outfitted in well made, custom robes of high quality to maintain a professional appearance in court. While the design and styling of barrister robes and accompanying legal attire has evolved over time, the current styling still dates from the 17th century and remains comprised of a waistcoat, robe, wing collar shirt, and tabs.
Harcourts understands how important it is to have custom barrister robes that reflect the importance and tradition of the legal profession. As such, we work very hard to maintain our global reputation for superior craftsmanship and custom tailoring.
