If you would like to order a specially made customized doctoral robe but need to wear something in the mean time for an event,
we would be happy to send you a loaner gown at no charge, until your
specialized gown is ready!
Doctoral Hoods
In addition to the graduation gown, doctoral and phd hoods are required as part of full doctoral regalia. Academic hoods normally have one's degree color as the velvet, and the colors of the school where he/she graduated as the satin lining colors.
We recommend our deluxe hood for all deluxe and faculty regalia orders.
Deluxe hoods are available in the "traditional-standard" version, or with "piping added". If piping is indicated but a color is not specified, we will use gold piping. Or if you prefer you can specify a specific color.
When ordering your academic hood, please be sure to specify your degree(for the velvet) and where you graduated from (for the lining), including the city, since often the same school may be representeted differently on the hood depending which campus you graduated from.
If you have any questions concerning your hood (i.e. how to wear an academic hood, or which color velvet to use for your degree, etc.) please visit academichood.com or contact us

additional 10 inches of material in the girth, and is custom made (+/-
6 week delivery)

black velvet. If you would prefer Ph.D. blue velvet, or another color,
we can make it special for you, for an additional $30.00 per gown.
We recommend the deluxe hood for all faculty quality doctoral gowns.
Don't
forget your tam! Most faculty members who have earned their doctoral
degrees purchase doctoral tams to differentiate themselves from their students and
non-doctors. If you do not wish to purchase a tam, then we will be
happy to send you a mortarboard and tassel at no charge, upon request.
These gowns
are usually available for immediate shipment.
The Souvenir Quality Doctoral Gown
Our Souvenir
Quality gowns are traditionally styled with velvet front velvet panels
starting at the yoke of the gown, and finishing at the hem. They also
feature full sleeves with three velvet stripes (chevrons) on each arm.
Gowns
in black with black velvet are usually available for immediate shipment.
Additionally, we offer quantity discounts on these
gowns.
The price will depend upon the quantity of caps and gowns (sets) being
purchased.
Few
faculty members choose Souvenir Quality gowns, since they can be used
only once or twice. However, many schools choose Souvenir Quality over
rental because we can sell them at below rental prices.
Each set comes individually wrapped with a cap, gown,
and tassel.
Hoods
are not included with the set. Order tams here.
