Frequently asked questions

Robe Shop · Handcrafted in Bavaria

What is a doctoral gown?
A doctoral gown is the academic regalia worn by PhD graduates, faculty and deans. The velvet trim traditionally carries the color of the academic faculty. We tailor bespoke doctoral gowns and PhD regalia to your measurements.
What do the colors on academic regalia mean?
The velvet facing and trim colors indicate the academic faculty or field of study. We are happy to advise you on the correct faculty color and finish for your institution and occasion.
Do you make custom regalia and ship worldwide?
Yes. Every gown is custom-tailored in our Bavarian atelier from the world’s finest cloths and shipped worldwide. Made-to-measure typically takes about 6–8 weeks.
