Why does the High Priest wear linen next to his skin?
A picture of inner purity for eternal glory, perhaps? He sheds all glory at Yom Kippur and approaches God in humble righteousness. Ezekiel 9:2 says that angels also wear linen. This might be functional as well as symbolic and pleasing to God.

"Linen turbans shall be on their heads and linen undergarments shall be on their loins; they shall not gird themselves with anything which makes them sweat.
(Eze 44:18)
