Banana Republic Is Re-Releasing Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s Dissent Collar

Throughout her storied career on the Supreme Court, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg would wear eye-catching neckwear — typically jabots or collars — over her robe, to communicate how she felt about or where she stood on specific rulings. It became a part of her uniform on the bench. 

“You know, the standard robe is made for a man because it has a place for the shirt to show, and the tie. So Sandra Day O’Connor and I thought it would be appropriate if we included as part of our robe something typical of a woman,” Justice Ginsburg told the Washington Post in 2009, about the origin of the style choice. “So I have many, many collars.”
