about half way down it explains the outfits
LOL I thought the same thing when I went to visit the supreme court. "They look like santas!"
Those outfits do look kind of cozy though for sitting around the camp fire when it's -30 out.
They tend to be close to the North Pole, so that clothing sorta makes sense.
I was thinking more along the lines of red and white like santa, because santa is up north. Not thinking about the horrors of heat stroke, heat exaustion, and death from heat.They don’t have heated indoors?
....their Supreme Court.....

I do not know how I have lived so many decades and never heard of this
No that is not an xmas card photo
They don’t have heated indoors?
I just always picture them being more functional than fatal. Like squirting maple syrup and spreading cheer instead of typical deadly munitions.
