Black Velvet Doctoral Graduation Tam With Gold Tassel - Adjustable 8-Sided Cap For PhD Graduates

About This Product

Graduation day is a big deal, especially when you've earned that doctorate! This beautiful 8-sided tam is exactly what you need to look sharp for the ceremony. Made from super soft, thick black velvet that just feels luxurious. The gold bullion tassel adds that perfect academic touch. Inside, it's lined with smooth silk satin and has this adjustable velcro closure that fits head sizes from 19 to 23 inches - so it'll fit just about everyone comfortably. Now, here's the thing about the sides: 8-sided tams are traditionally for doctorate graduates, while 4-sided are for masters and 6-sided for those special degrees in between. Make sure to check with your school about their requirements, but this is the real deal for PhD grads. Wearing it right is key - one corner points forward between your eyes, with a slight tilt to the right and the tassel on the left. Sounds complicated but it's easy once you get the hang of it. HERRENBEK really knows their academic wear - they've been specializing in graduation gear for years. This tam isn't just for the ceremony either - you'll wear it for other academic events too. It's unisex and comes in this classic black that pairs perfectly with your doctoral gown and hood. This is that moment you've worked so hard for - make it count with a tam that looks as impressive as your achievement!
