Academical dress has been worn by students and graduates for hundreds of years and even in these modern times shows no obvious sign of becoming obsolete. In addition to the distinctive robes granted by universities to their graduates, many other organisations, particularly musical colleges and societies, theological colleges and learned societies, specify hoods and gowns for their members, fellows and diplomates. This volume is a comprehensive guide to these robes, and a companion to the updated and expanded third edition of Dr George Shaw's classic work on the academical dress of British and Irish universities.
