Shop master's hoods you keep after the ceremony. Choose from 9 satin master's hoods and 5 velvet master's hoods, each with a black shell and a colored lining or trim. A master's hood is worn draped over the shoulders and down the back of your gown, over a master's graduation gown.

Satin or Velvet

Our satin master's hoods have a black satin polyester shell with colored trim, and fasten with a snap-on button and hook. Our velvet master's hoods have a black satin polyester shell with a rich velvet lining and satin trim. Closures vary by style, so check the details on each listing. Every master's hood is one size.

Choosing Your Hood Color

Hood colors are not universal. Each university sets its own colors and styles, and some only accept academic dress from an appointed supplier. Check your graduation office's dress requirements before you order.
