This traditional hood reaches 46 inches in length and can be worn with either our economy or deluxe doctorate gowns. To represent your field of study, our hoods are composed of 100% polyester and paired with a velvet band. The velvet hue is composed of a cotton-velveteen blend, and the hood features a black shell with a distinct gloss. The interior of the hood has a lovely duo-color satin lining with a chevron that matches your school colors. These hoods are perfect for PHD grads and academic members. Buying a hood from us is a terrific option to renting because they are affordable, reusable, and can be preserved as a memory to be remembered for a lifetime!
