I've always thought that some of the robes worn by my dad's colleagues
at Commencement - especially the ones that have velvet trim and a floppy
hat instead of the mortarboard - wouldn't look out of place at a
Renaissance Faire! : )
Indeed! Those are basically Tudor Flat Caps.
FYI, the ones with the Velvet Trim are doctoral robes.
