Commencement at Iowa State University more than a milestone—it is the embodiment of the Cyclone spirit. It’s the culmination of afternoons in Parks Library, walks through Central Campus under the Campanile, game days at Jack Trice Stadium, and sunsets over Lake LaVerne. As you walk across the stage in your cap and gown, the lights of Hilton Coliseum shining and the roar of your family and classmates filling the stands, it is not just about receiving a degree—it is about stepping fully into the cardinal and gold legacy that unites generations of Cyclones.

Bachelor’s Regalia Set for Iowa State University
Iowa State bachelor’s graduates cross the stage in the traditional matte black gown, sustainably tailored from recycled fibers, with discreet side pockets and a neckline loop to secure stoles. A hidden front hook allows for either a traditional closed silhouette or an open-front style, giving you freedom to showcase your outfit beneath. The bachelor cap and gown set for Iowa State University includes a mortarboard cap and tassel with a year charm, specific to your ISU college requirements. Designed to be lightweight and breathable, the gown celebrates graduates from the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Ivy College of Business, College of Design, College of Engineering and programs across campus, all while reflecting Iowa State University’s enduring commitment to sustainability.

Why CAPGOWN Over the Iowa State University Bookstore?
Unlike the Iowa State University Bookstore, where regalia can be costly and take weeks to be delivered, CAPGOWN fulfills bachelor’s regalia in just one business day—at about half the ISU Bookstore price. Backed by thousands of verified 5-star reviews from Cyclones nationwide, our regalia are praised for craftsmanship, comfort, and durability that last well beyond the ceremony. Each regalia set adheres to the strict standards of the Iowa State commencement committee, making CAPGOWN the trusted alternative source of regalia for ISU grads. When you wear your regalia from CAPGOWN you can be sure that you will be amongst fellow Cyclones who have had a photoshoot against Iowa State’s picturesque campus and walked across the graduation stage with family and friends cheering you on.

Cyclones can also extend their milestone with diploma frames embossed with the Iowa State University seal—the perfect way to showcase years of dedication. Many choose custom tote bags, alumni keepsakes, and memorabilia from Ames that carry the spirit of ISU after commencement into their professional careers.

Each winter and spring Cyclones ask the same questions on r/iastate: “Where’s the best place to get my cap and gown?” or “Is there a cheaper, faster option than the ISU Bookstore?” The answer is here. This page is your Commencement Central, built for Cyclones and their families. At CAPGOWN, we don’t just provide regalia for Iowa State University—we help you wear your Cyclone achievement, carry your cardinal and gold into the future, and walk out of Hilton Coliseum not only as a graduate, but as a living legacy of Iowa State University.

Iowa State University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, College of Design, Ivy College of Business, College of Engineering, College of Human Sciences (which includes the School of Education), College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and College of Veterinary Medicine.
