Commencement at the University of Washington is more than a milestone—it is the embodiment of the Husky spirit. It’s the culmination of walks across Red Square, late nights in Suzzalo Library, cherry blossom season along the Quad, and game days at the Alaska Airlines Field. As you walk across the stage in your cap and gown, the sun shining down on Husky Stadium 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 purple and gold legacy that unites generations of Huskies.

Master’s Regalia Set for the University of Washington
University of Washington master’s graduates are distinguished by gowns with oblong sleeves and academic hoods lined in luminous gold satin with a purple parti per chevron signifying University of Washington colors. Each hood is finished with velvet trim representing disciplines across UW schools. Sustainably crafted from recycled fibers and paired with a mortarboard cap and black tassel featuring a year charm, the set embodies both Husky pride and the rigor of graduate study. Designed to be lightweight and breathable, the gown celebrates graduates from the College of Arts & Sciences, Foster School of Business, College of Engineering, School of Public Health, and programs across campus, all while reflecting the University of Washington’s enduring commitment to sustainability.

Doctoral Regalia for the University of Washington
Doctoral graduates step into University of Washington’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 University of Washington’s signature colors of luminous purple satin with a bold gold parti per chevron, is trimmed in velvet to denote each discipline—Ph.D. purple and MD green. 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 Hooding in Meany Hall to future convocations and commencements.

Why CAPGOWN Over the UW University Books Store?
Unlike the University Book Store, where regalia can be costly and take weeks to be delivered, CAPGOWN fulfills master’s and doctoral regalia in just one business day—at about half the UW University Book Store price. Backed by thousands of verified 5-star reviews from Huskies 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 Washington commencement committee, making CAPGOWN the trusted alternative source of regalia for UW grads. When you wear your regalia from CAPGOWN you can be sure that you will be amongst fellow Huskies who have had a photoshoot against University of Washington’s picturesque campus and walked across the graduation stage with family and friends cheering you on.

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

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