Mark one of the highest achievements in your academic journey with the Deluxe Doctoral Academic Gown—designed specifically to reflect the prestige of a doctorate degree, while delivering quality, comfort, and timeless presentation.

• Premium Quality Gown Built for Doctoral Ceremony
This gown is crafted with enhanced detailing befitting doctorate-level regalia. The design features rich velvet front panels and sleeve bars, full fluted yoke and shoulder gathering, and proprietary tailoring that ensures the profuse drape and formal silhouette traditionally associated with PhD or EdD gowns. 

• Traditional Doctorate Regalia Styling & Symbolism
Doctoral gowns differ significantly from bachelor’s or master’s gowns: longer lengths, bell sleeves, prominent velvet facings, and more generous volume. This gown aligns with those conventions, helping you look the part at every commencement, faculty procession, or academic ceremony.

• Comfortable for Long Events & Keepsake-Ready
Graduation day is long—from lineup to walking across the stage, to photos and celebration. This gown prioritizes comfort with room to move, quality materials that maintain structure, and sturdy construction that resists creasing and wear. Whether you use it once or preserve it as a keepsake, it’s designed for longevity. 

• Complete Your Doctoral Look With Confidence
Pair this gown with your doctoral hood and tam (sold separately unless in bundle). The gown forms the foundation of your academic ensemble; the velvet panels, full drape and tailored silhouette set it apart from standard regalia and reflect your scholarly achievement.

• Styling Tip for Ceremony Success:
Choose the gown size based on your height and build (check our size chart). For an ultra-polished look, ensure your hood is attached via the gown’s back-neck loop and your tam sits level. Use a mirror or photo preview to ensure the velvet panels hang straight and the fabric flows gracefully.

Does this doctoral gown come with a hood and tam?

No, the hood and tam are sold separately unless you buy a package. This listing is for the gown only.

Is this PhD robe right for an EdD or other doctoral ceremony?

What details set the Deluxe Doctoral Academic Gown apart from a bachelor's or master's gown?

How do I choose my size in this doctoral graduation gown?

International Shipping

We will ship to some foreign locations. Such locations generally include Canada, Europe, South America, Japan and a few other locations. You can check if your country is available by simulating placing an order on our website. We can also place the order over the phone if you do not find your country. However because such shipments often involve the peculiarities of the various tariffs, trade and import/export laws around the globe we may not be able to ship some orders overseas due to the cost of researching the laws for that location. Also if possible it is always easier for us to ship to a US-based shipping address and you will always save on shipping costs if you can arrange for a US-based address to receive the shipment. At this time due to advice from our bank concerning trends in fraud we reserve all rights to deny or proceed with orders shipping internationally.

* Gradshop IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DUTY, VAT, TAX OR ANY OTHER FEES ASSOCIATED WITH IMPORTING OUR PRODUCTS. We cannot look up the final cost to you as your home country may (and often does) charge a fee at the destination. We also cannot accept a rejection of that fee after the shipment leaves our factory and we cannot offer a return for a refund. Your home country will demand that Gradshop pay the fee before receiving the returned item and Gradshop cannot pay that fee. If you order from overseas you must either pay any import fees and duties your home country charges or else abandon the item or receive no refund.
