frequently asked questions

What do the colours mean on graduation hoods?
The colours of Academic Dress hark back to the origins of the university. For more modern universities, colours may relate to the polytechnic institution that they were before 1992. For more established universities, the colours of their academic dress may have been created as far back as the middle ages, as in the cases of the University of Cambridge and Oxford. The colours of the graduation hood are provided directly by the degree awarding institute.
How do you wear a graduation hood?
To correctly wear a Graduation hood, you must first place the hood over your head through the hole in the centre. Let the Graduation hood naturally fall with the non-shiny satin side facing outwards. Then fold out the shiny lining of the hood so that you can see part of it but also still see the polyester/cotton material on the outside of the hood. To see a demonstration of how to attach a hood, please head to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nG5Ik1IVMg4 and watch from 34 seconds.
What materials are used to create the Graduation Hoods?
The materials used for academic hoods will depend on the specifications provided by the official regalia of an institute. However, the majority of hoods Evess produce are generally 100% polyester. Evess use a polyester plain or twill weave outer fabric with a polyester satin lining. Our hoods may also use faux fur, which is 80% acrylic and 20% polyester.
Are all Hoods one size?
All hoods are one size fits all.
How do I wash my Graduation Hood?
We recommend hand washing our hoods and stoles. To remove stains use a small amount of bio laundry gel with a soft nail brush and then rinse in a clean washing up bowl. We do not advise using a washing machine as the stain may remain and the colour will run. Additionally, machine washing may ruin the stitching.
What are stoles used for at graduation?
Graduation Stoles are used as a recognition of an award or course completion. In the UK, they are mainly used to signify a student achievement award or below university and college level of certification. In the USA, Graduation Stoles are used to represent certifications with honour cords used for special mentions. A more modern tradition has seen Graduation Stoles made from traditional Kente material originating in Africa being used to show the family origins of students and celebrating this.
Can you iron graduation stoles?
Yes, graduation stoles can be ironed on a low heat to make them look their best.
