Commencement at the University of Missouri is more than a milestone—it is the embodiment of the Tiger spirit. It’s the culmination of afternoons on Francis Quadrangle, late nights in Ellis Library, evenings at Shakespeare’s Pizza, and cheering on the Tigers in Mizzou Arena. As you cross the stage in your cap and gown—beneath the lights of Mizzou Arena for Spring Commencement or Hearnes Center for Winter Commencement—the cheers of your family and classmates fill the stands. In that moment, it’s about more than receiving a degree; it’s about stepping into the black and gold legacy that unites generations of Tigers.

Doctoral Regalia for the University of Missouri
Doctoral graduates step into University of Missouri’s most prestigious attire: tailored crepe black gowns accented with gold piping, plush black velvet front panels, and three black velvet chevrons on each bell sleeve. The doctoral hood, lined in University of Missouri’s signature colors of luminous gold satin with a bold black chevron, is trimmed in blue velvet to denote the Ph.D. discipline. The ensemble is completed with an eight-sided black 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 Hooding in Jesse Auditorium to future convocations and commencements.

Why CAPGOWN Over the Mizzou Store?
Unlike the Mizzou Store, where regalia can be costly and take weeks to be delivered, CAPGOWN fulfills doctoral regalia in just one business day—at about half the Mizzou Store 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 the strict standards of the University of Missouri commencement committee, making CAPGOWN the trusted alternative source of regalia for Mizzou grads. When you wear your regalia from CAPGOWN you can be sure that you will be amongst fellow Tigers who have had a photoshoot against University of Missouri’s picturesque campus and walked across the graduation stage with family and friends cheering you on.

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

Each winter and spring Tigers ask the same questions on r/mizzou: “Where’s the best place to get my cap and gown?” or “Is there a cheaper, faster option than the Mizzou Store?” 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 the University of Missouri—we help you wear your Tiger achievement, carry your black and gold into the future, and walk out of Mizzou Arena or Hearnes Center not only as a graduate, but as a living legacy of the University of Missouri.
