Classic Doctoral Gown
Our classic doctoral gown is one of our high end robes which is perfect for your faculty members and PHD graduates. The finish is a muted satin so it's not as glossy as our shiny gowns but not matte either. Made with a higher quality polyester, our classic doctoral gowns have several notable features. These robes include black velvet chevrons down the center and on both arms. They also include a padded yoke and fabric covered button on the back of the gown for hood attachment. All of our doctorate gowns have adjustable velcro lantern sleeves for a fitted, distinguished look. Our classic doctoral gown is an excellent alternative to renting and is designed to help you outfit even a large graduating class without going over budget. These gowns are affordable enough for a one-time use but durable enough to be reused several times.
The gown is made of a lightweight polyester material that will keep your graduate or staff member comfortable throughout the ceremony. The fit of the gown could be described as a long, loosely-fitted garment with a full front zipper and wide sleeves with adjustable cuffs. This dense and durable fabric holds its shape perfectly and is designed to resist wrinkles so your graduates will look their best before, during and after the ceremony.
Our classic doctoral gown is our most affordable PHD robe that features everything the premium has to offer except the fluting and piping.
Complete this look with our Classic Doctoral Hood and a Tam!

Can you describe the physical differences between a Bachelor, Master, and Doctorate gown?
The bachelor's gown is traditionally a black gown which includes a pleated yolk with fluting. These gowns are distinguished by higher quality fabric from the regular adult gowns worn in lower institution ceremonies. Students who are graduating from a master's program have specific requirements for their gowns. It has fluting across the front panel of the shoulders that reaches to the back of the gown. The sleeves are the most obvious difference of a master's gown. The front of the sleeve extends from the wrist, at the front and drops all the way down to the mid-thigh. Doctorate gowns are reserved for faculty members and students graduating with a PHD. These are thicker, typically black gowns with three velvet bands on the sleeves and piping down the middle-front side. The piping outlines two thick velvet panels in additional to hand-made ruffled pleats and a padded yolk. These robes have full sleeves as opposed to bell sleeves on standard gowns. Our doctorate gowns are durable and can be reused many times if needed.
