I used my husband's hood to make one for my soninlaw. Is yours to be for the
MA or Phd. I would be happy to make up a pattern for you. First, research the
general style (any of Academic garb sites and find out the proper colors for
School and discipline to be featured. I can also send you my pattern for an
Oxford don hat. You can get a wonderful gilt tassel from a present
company...which I will identify from my records.

Subject: Re: [h-cost] possibly OT -- Academic Hoods
I want to make me a gown out of either linen or tropical weight wool -- wearing
a "black plastic bag" in south Georgia in the summer is not my idea of fun! And
I got curious as to hood patterns.?
I had planned to make my own garb, but then got out of academia, so never did.?
I was going to borrow a friend's hood fto make?the pattern.? I think some of
the minister/choir robe patterns on the market are good for the robe.? They
used to sell pleating tape that would make the little cartridge pleats, and I
was going to use that to get the proper pleating.? Silk would probably be more
authentic than linen or wool, but linen would be more comfortable, for sure,
and wool wouldn't wrinkle like linen, which would probably be a total mess by
the end of the ceremony.? Also, it seems to me most linens are not deep, dark,
black.
Good luck!

Has anybody ever run across a pattern for contemporary Academic Hoods (which if
you believe the line that the college uses are "unchanged since the 13th
century -- I'm gonna make me 13th century academic garb if I can figure out
what it is -- just because!)??
