Doctoral
Regalia
Distinguishing styled. This luxurious doctoral gown has twin front velvet
panels sweep down the length of the gown, softly curving around the neck.
The unmistakable mark of the doctor’s gown is the three bars of velvet and
gold linings on each of the full flowing rounded sleeve. These crossbars
of velvet are of the color distinctive of the disciplines to which the
degree pertains. Precision fluting around the shoulders and back create
smooth, graceful folds and flows making the gown generously and
comfortably full. A rich cord and button are added for a fine finishing
touch. It is designed and supplied with zipper in the front as the gown is
worn closed. The hood velvet edge of the hood represents your discipline,
the satin colors your school and the overall size and shape represent the
achievement of your doctoral degree. Doctoral Regalia come with a
traditional tam with six-corner. It is styled in black velvet and a gold
metallic tassel.

How to wear the Academic Hood
The hood is to be placed over the gown around the neck and shoulders so
that the larger portion with the satin colors hangs down the wearer’s
back. The velvet border is worn facing out, with the wide velvet
positioned as the upper band on the hood (under the chin) and the narrow
satin trim positioned as the lower band. Smooth the velvet band and satin
trim into place as the hood is draped over the shoulders and down the
back.
Look for a hook attached to the front of the hood that should be fastened
to the gown so that it does not press on the front of the wearer’s neck.
To expose the satin lining in the back, starting at the middle-back
level, turn the free edge of the velvet border, below the shoulders, with
the fingertips out to the sides and under in a small “inside out”
maneuver. This will cause the satin lining to roll into view. Secure the
cord at the upper back to both buttons found in the lining to keep the
hood from spreading apart in the back and falling off the shoulders.
