Academic Regalia from The Robe Shop

Why choose The Robe Shop for Custom Tailored Regalia?

"Dear Robe Shop- I am really pleased with the help I received in placing the order and the timely fashion in which it arrived. I was so impressed with the appearance of the regalia! I actually was the best dressed person at graduation--and that includes the university president! While members of my department teased me for being so fancy (for a new junior faculty), I think they all plan on updating their regalia now. I'll be sure to tell them where I got mine!" -CK
