Re: [h-cost] Academic robes and hoods links

Greetings!

This blog covers the adventures of a seamstress making her own academic
robe! 

http://sewingtodistraction.blogspot.com/search/label/academic%20regalia

While I was fishing around the internet looking for the aforementioned blog,
I found this link which appears to have more information about academic
regalia than I had imagined existed.

http://www.burgon.org.uk/design/makers/index.php

FWIW, my experience with wearing a wool academic gown in June in humid New
York, was that it was actually ok and definitely better than any synthetic.
