DOCTORAL
TAMS
Doctoral
Velvet Tams are available in your choice of four, six,
or eight
corners and in your choice of either a Gold SILKY or Gold METALLIC
Tassel.
Whether
you pick
a 4, 6, or 8 corner tam has less to do with regulation
and
more to do
with looking your best!
Generally,
most people seem to prefer the six sided tam, however extremely tall
people may do better with the 8 corner tam since the tam itself is a
bit larger, while short stocky people may do better with a 4 corner
model, since it is sharper and thus makes the person look "less round".
Both
tassels are
very beautiful. They are two button doctoral tassels that are
permanently
sewn onto your selected tam. The difference between them is whether
they
are made of fabric or metallic thread. The metallic tassels definitely
have a special shine to them and stand out more than the silky ones.
Individuals
receiving
our Classic Gowns, Deluxe Gowns, or a fully Custom Made to Measure Gown
should almost certainly look towards a custom tam.
Because
these
tams are made of velvet, it would not matter which fabric your gown is
made from; you could still purchase the tams without fear of
mismatching.
This
is different
from hoods which should preferably be made from the same fabric quality
as the gown.
Also
for this reason, many people purchasing VIP economy gowns also purchase
these tams as a way of upgrading their look without actually purchasing
a more expensive gown. Even if you should upgrade to a more expensive
gown later on, you would still use the same tam.
The
price for tams
& tassels is as follows:
WITH SILKY
TASSEL:
4 - 6 CORNER $78.50
8
CORNER $98.50
WITH METALLIC
TASSEL
4-6 CORNER
$92.00
8 CORNER $112.00
If
you are purchasing
a VIP Economy, CLASSIC, or DELUXE gown, and you do not purchase a tam
at
the time of your order, then a VIP Economy Mortarboard Cap will be sent
to you with your order.
IF
YOU ARE GETTING
A TAM, BE SURE TO INDICATE EITHER YOUR CAP SIZE OR YOUR HEAD SIZE. Using
a tape, measure the circumference of your head about an inch over your
eye brow. the size should be in the neighborhood of 22 to 23 1/2
inches.
It should be snug but not too tight. Round size to nearest quarter
inch.
If you are between sizes, err to the larger quarter inch. A cap size
would
be something like 6 7/8, 7 1/4, 7 3/8, etc.
