One of the most significant mementos from a person's academic career is their cap and tassel. Nothing else quite represents the work and achievements that graduating signifies, so it is important to include a cap and tassel in your graduation outfit. Having high quality materials, like the ones used to make both of these items, means that they will last as keepsakes for decades. The cap is designed to snugly fit the head thanks to an elastic base. This makes it form fitting, and it won't fall off during the ceremony. The cap's tightly wrapped fabric means that there are no wrinkles or lines on the fabric, and it will look good close up or from afar in photographs. white is the most popular choice for caps, and covers the mortarboard top construction of this cap. The tassel is also white, and is made from a poly/ragon blend that stretches to 9 inches in length. An attractive metallic year charm accompanies the tassel.
