About Premium Black Doctoral Regalia
CAPGOWN makes it easy for proud graduates and alumni to wear high-quality regalia by offering a rental or purchase option, both of which are delivered right to your door. You will receive a premium quality regalia set with either option. Our premium regalia is designed in the traditional sense. Our premium standard regalia set includes a doctoral gown, Ph.D. hood, and an eight-sided velvet tam with adjustable velcro and your choice of silk or gold bullion tassel. The body of the doctoral gown is black with plush black velvet panels that include gold pipping. The gown features bell sleeves with three black velvet chevrons in the doctoral gown tradition. The doctoral hood is trimmed with plush blue velvet denoting the awarded Doctorate of Philosophy and your choice of lining. Whether you are being awarded your doctorate and want to commemorate this momentous occasion or you’re a faculty member looking for regalia that will last you year after year, you are going to shine on the graduation stage with our premium material and skillful craftsmanship.
