Commencement at Louisiana State University is more than a milestone—it is the embodiment of the Tiger spirit. It’s the culmination of afternoons on the LSU Quad, late nights in LSU Library, traditions beneath Memorial Tower, and cheering on the Tigers in Death Valley. As you walk across the stage in your cap and gown, the lights of the Pete Maravich Assembly Center or Tiger Stadium shining and the roar of your family and classmates filling the venue, it is not just about receiving a degree—it is about stepping fully into the purple and gold legacy that unites generations of Tigers.

Doctoral Regalia for Louisiana State University
Doctoral graduates step into LSU’s most prestigious attire: tailored crepe purple gowns accented with gold piping, plush purple velvet front panels, and three purple velvet chevrons on each bell sleeve. The doctoral hood, lined in LSU’s signature colors of rich purple satin with a bold gold chevron, is trimmed in blue velvet to denote the Ph.D. discipline. The ensemble is completed with an eight-sided purple velvet tam, adjustable for fit, and a gold bullion tassel for an added touch of prestige. Each regalia set includes a garment bag and carrying case, supporting not just commencement but a lifetime of ceremonial use, from doctoral hooding and commencement in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center to future convocations and commencements.

Why CAPGOWN Over the LSU Bookstore?
Unlike the LSU Bookstore, where regalia can be costly and take weeks to be delivered, CAPGOWN fulfills doctoral regalia in just one business day—at about half the LSU bookstore price. Backed by thousands of verified 5-star reviews from Tigers nationwide, our regalia are praised for craftsmanship, comfort, and durability that last well beyond the ceremony. Each regalia set adheres to LSU’s commencement standards, making CAPGOWN the trusted alternative source of regalia for LSU graduates. When you wear your regalia from CAPGOWN, you can be sure that you will be among fellow Tigers who have taken graduation photos beneath Memorial Tower and around the LSU Quad and crossed the stage with family and friends cheering them on.

Tigers can also extend their milestone with diploma frames embossed with the Louisiana State University seal—the perfect way to showcase years of dedication. Many choose custom tote bags, alumni keepsakes, and Baton Rouge memorabilia that carry the spirit of LSU into their professional careers.

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