University of Texas at Austin Commencement Central: Graduation Regalia & Accessories
Commencement at The University of Texas at Austin is more than a milestone—it is the embodiment of the Longhorn spirit. It’s the culmination of afternoons on the Main Mall, late nights in the Perry-Castañeda Library, moments at the UT Tower, and cheering on the Longhorns at Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium. As you walk across the stage in your cap and gown, the lights of the stadium shining and the roar of your family and classmates filling the stadium, it is not just about receiving a degree—it is about stepping fully into the black and crimson red legacy that unites generations of Longhorns.
Bachelor’s Regalia Set for The University of Texas at Austin
UT Austin 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 the University of Texas at Austin includes a mortarboard cap and tassel with a year charm, specific to your UTA college requirements. Designed to be lightweight and breathable, the gown celebrates graduates from the College of Liberal Arts, McCombs School of Business, Cockrell School of Engineering, College of Natural Sciences, and programs across campus, all while reflecting UT Austin’s enduring commitment to sustainability.
Doctoral Regalia for The University of Texas at Austin
Doctoral graduates step into UTA’s most prestigious attire: tailored crepe camel gowns accented with gold piping, plush camel velvet front panels, and three camel velvet chevrons on each bell sleeve. The doctoral hood, lined in Texas signature colors of luminous copper satin with a bold white chevron, is trimmed in camel velvet to denote the Ph.D. discipline. The ensemble is completed with an eight-sided camel 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 Bass Concert Hall to future convocations and commencements.
Why CAPGOWN Over the University Co-op?
Unlike the University Co-Op, where regalia can be costly and take weeks to be delivered, CAPGOWN fulfills bachelor’s and doctoral regalia in just one business day—at about half the University Co-Op bookstore price. Backed by thousands of verified 5-star reviews from Longhorns 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 UT Austin commencement committee, making CAPGOWN the trusted alternative source of regalia for UTA grads. When you wear your regalia from CAPGOWN you can be sure that you will be amongst fellow LongHorns who have had a photoshoot against UT Austin’s picturesque campus and walked across the graduation stage with family and friends cheering you on.
Longhorns can also extend their milestone with diploma frames embossed with The University of Texas seal—the perfect way to showcase years of dedication. Many choose custom tote bags, alumni keepsakes, and memorabilia from Austin that carry the spirit of UT after commencement into their professional careers.
Each spring Longhorns ask the same questions on r/UTAustin: “Where’s the best place to get my cap and gown?” or “Is there a cheaper, faster option than the Co-op?” The answer is here. This page is your Commencement Central, built for Longhorns and their families. At CAPGOWN, we don’t just provide regalia for The University of Texas at Austin—we help you wear your Longhorn achievement, carry your burnt orange and white into the future, and walk out of Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium not only as a graduate, but as a living legacy of The University of Texas.
