    High court gown

    Hi - I was wondering whether anybody knows where I can get a High Court gown (for lawyers) made. I need to get one for a NZ lawyer, so I'm not sure what the equivalent is in Hong Kong. I know they still wear them in HK though.
    Thanks

    The dress code is here.

    No clue where you'd get the wigs and gowns though. I'd probably call the court / ballifs office or a fellow lawyer or the bar association? ( http://www.hkba.org/contacts/index.html )
