Master's Cap and Gown

There is no charge for loaner gowns or hoods, provided that you return the loaners once you receive your actual regalia.

Similarly, we are happy to offer individuals interested in purchasing deluxe gowns (made to order) but in a rush, loaner gowns to wear, until their special gown is complete.

Academic hoods (with school colors) are also normally made to order, since each persons is different, but if you are in a rush, we can usually send you a "loaner hood" to borrow until your actual hood is ready. Then when you receive your real hood, just send the loaner one back to us.

Deluxe or made-to-measure graduation gowns are normally made to order, requiring +/- eight weeks, depending on the season. 

We generally keep the both the faculty quality master's gowns, and the student quality (souvenir) gowns in stock. Master's tams and mortarboards also usually in stock.

We also offer master's tams for master's degree holders who are faculty members and wish to differentiate themselves from their students. Unlike the doctoral tams, master's tams are usually 6 sided (though we can special make them as a four sided or 8 sided) but with a plain black tassel, in place of the jumbo two button gold bullion tassels found on the doctoral tams.

Faculty members ordering gowns with mortarboards normally receive a black tassel without a year charm. Again, if you prefer, we can send you a dated tassel or a degree color tassel, but the "default" standard practice for faculty members is to wear black tassels without a date charm.

Tassels for graduating students normally come with a year date charm affixed to them (i.e. 2006), and these charms can be easily removed or swapped with a different date.

Unless you specify otherwise, master's tassels are sent black, to match the cap and gown. This is how most people graduate. Or if you prefer, we can send you a "degree color" tassel (that is, the color of the tassel would be the same color used on the velvet of your hood, to delineate your degree or academic discipline).

Students graduating with a Masters Degree normally wear mortarboards and tassels.

Each master's gown also comes with a cap (mortarboard) and tassel.

Our deluxe master's graduation gowns offer the look, feel and quality you would expect from a fully custom gown, but in an "off the rack" size, to save you hundreds of dollars, compared to a fully made-to-measure gown, for people wanting a custom look, but not a custom price.

Our faculty quality master's gown is similar to rental gowns -- long lasting, wrinkle resistant and durable -- for years of trouble free wear. However owning your gown, rather than renting each and every semester will generally save you thousands of dollars over the lifetime of your career (plus the savings of time and effort by not having to rent and re rent your cap, gown and hood each semester).

The student master's gown is ideal for students who will only be wearing their regalia once or twice (either going into business or for a doctorate, following this graduation) and thus have no need to purchase a longer lasting gown.

We offer masters regalia in three quality levels: Deluxe (superior quality, similar to custom made but at "off the rack" prices); Faculty (rental / classic quality -- not as nice as deluxe, but very long lasting); and Student / Souvenir (promotional quality, great for one time use, but not designed to be used repeatedly.)

In addition to blazers, sportcoats, career apparel and uniforms, blazerdepot.com also specializes in academic regalia (caps, gowns, hoods, tams) for students and faculty members.
