Deluxe Doctoral Graduation Gown Hood and Tam 6Sided Package

I never went to my doctoral graduation so I needed robes to wear for my student's graduation. This was about $300 less than any other place so I was skeptical. Real skeptical.The cons:The sleeves are a bit short and it comes larger than expected around.Someone needs to put pockets in this.Tam is not great quality but let's face it--we all hate the hat.The pro's:So I took that extra fabric, folded it in vertically on either side, and made like a pleat--which I pinned to make pockets! I didn't have to hold that ridiculous program from graduation that we all end up rolling up, and instead I slid it into my newfound portofolio style pockets. I also got my phone in there, and my keys!This is actually a really nice quality. It doesn't wrinkle, the hood held up well, the pleats are sharp, and the gold cording around the blue arm stripes is really well sewn in. The gathers at the back are well done, too.I would like the option to order one with lining (mainly b/c I have to wear this yearly for events so this wasn't a one time deal), and I'd like to see pockets. Please. Pockets.You will not be disappointed. Save the $300 and get the exact same quality here. Highly recommend.

Well made product appreciated

Absolutely beautiful!! The quality and look is just as good, if not better than the robes offered through school vendors. The price made it even better.

Sleeves was short and was loose at the seams of cuffs. Little short for someone 6ft. 6in.Paid a lot for this problem exist. Using for awards ceremony 10-14-23. Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award.

Great product, great service! Fits perfectly!

Very nice apparel. Shipped as it was promised. Excellent customer service

Great value for the price. Looked and felt high quality. No regrets walking the stage in these.

If you are going to be in a group of people who paid for the real thing from the university you will look a little off. Not super obvious but enough that a few people asked what was wrong with my gown.Also, there’s no button inside the collar to attach the sash to so it kind of feels like someone is pulling on your neck the whole time.
