All Dressed up in your Graduation PhD Gown with somewhere important to go? You have worked hard to gain your Doctor of Philosophy and have earned the right to be called Doctor. Certainly, you have the right to sport your colors as you head off to graduation. Are you looking for a graduation gift or costume for your favorite student or teacher? Doctoral gowns are available in deluxe quality, semi custom, completely custom made, standard faculty quality, and souvenir quality.
Every Doctoral Candidate works extremely hard in their academic discipline and enjoys the pride and honor representing their department at the graduation ceremony. With so many College Gowns at a higher education ceremony, you want to be recognized. The academic hood accomplishes this recognition. The academic hood is comprised of a fabric shell (usually black), “degree velvet” and “school lining”. The velvet of the doctoral hood represents your degree. For a PhD hood, the degree velvet is rich royal blue, or PhD blue.
For other doctorates (non-PhD) or degrees, the hood velvet colors are listed below:
In addition to the degree colors, each school generally has its own colors. These “school colors” are represented by the colors of the satin lining in the back of the hood.
Therefore, whether you are a new PhD Graduate, a seasoned professor, or a friend or relative wanting to find that special someone the perfect gift, find their colors and buy them, they will think of you every time they put on or look at their Graduation PhD Gown.
