  • What is a Beefeater? How is it different than a regular graduation cap?

    A beefeater, also know as a Tudor Bonnet, are high quality hats are typically reserved for high ranking officials presiding over a graduation ceremony. The standard mortarboard is a polyester encased cardboard square that sits on top of the head. Mortarboards are traditionally used for primary and secondary school graduations. Tams, on the other hand, are typically used for higher-level graduations such as Ed.S and doctorate ceremonies (occasionally for masters).

  • How do I know which size to choose?

    We offer three sizes: Small, Medium, and Large. If you are unsure of your baseball cap size, you will need to measure your head using a tape measure. If you didn’t have a measuring tape on hand, you can use a string to wrap around the head then measure it with a ruler afterward. Tams have a stretchy elastic band that has some give but make sure you choose the size closest to your measurement.
