I'm almost as old but can't recall any such thing when I was up before the beak and my brief was mitigating like mad to prevent my being shipped off to the colonies. Those bewigged toffs still use sizable blue bags to carry their black gowns, yellowing wigs and curled up sandwiches between gigs. There's even a claret coloured bag to be had, presented by a grateful Silk to his junior when he has more than earned his brief fee. | |
