A special shade of burgundy fabric is one of the most prominent features of the authentic University of Massachusetts Amherst doctoral outfit.  Traditional style pleats, double-bell sleeves, a deluxe button and cord on the back with zipper front closure give this hand-crafted and custom-tailored outfit a distinctive appearance.  Rich black velvet doctoral panels and bars edged with white cording are clearly visible against the burgundy fabric of the gown. 

The proper cap to be worn with this authentic doctoral outfit is an 8 corner black velvet tam with a gold metallic tassel.

Your outfit would not be complete without the doctoral hood.  The University of Massachusetts Amherst doctoral hood is of the traditional style in design featuring a black shell with the satin lining in maroon with 2 white chevrons.  Velvet trim in the color representative of the degree conferred edges the hood.  The velvet is edged on the outside with white cording.

University Cap & Gown designed this regalia for the university and is the official manufacturer and supplier of the authentic University of Massachusetts Amherst doctoral outfit.
