On Collection day all customers are shown how to correctly wear their regalia through a personal fitting with our qualified and fully trained staff. Still, you might have been wondering about the following:
Is it one size fits all?
Gown size is determined by your height rather than your clothing size. We gauge your height and give you the right length gown. There are 8 lengths of gown in our standard fitting range so something for everyone from 5ft to 6ft 3" and over.
Hats come in all sizes - we give you the right sized trencher or bonnet based on your head circumference.
All customers are shown how to correctly wear their regalia through a personal fitting with our qualified and fully trained staff.

For all enquiries please feel free to give us a call to discuss options on 07 858 5628.

What do I need to bring when collecting and returning regalia?
Please bring your invoice with you as this will help us to process your order more quickly.
If you are collecting for yourself you don’t need to bring anything else with you.
If you are collecting on behalf of someone else you will need to know their name, their Student ID number, their height in centimetres and head circumference in centimetres.
For all enquiries please feel free to give us a call on 07 858 5628.
