You seem to be making my case for me. The wigs are a traditional badge of rank and status. They date from a time when gentlemen wore wigs (at least situationally; maybe not when foxhunting) and laborers did not.I guess you don't know about the judges in Great Britain wear those stupid wigs when on the bench. What's the purpose of that?
I would not be surprised if someone who showed up in the courtroom as a spectator wearing such a wig would be removed for the cause of mocking or impersonating a judge, but that's beside the point.
