University caps

An unforgettable moment for a student, graduation is an event that is often linked to traditional outfit, the gown, cap and tassel.

Bringing together teachers, parents and friends, this ceremony gives future graduates the opportunity to don the famous gown with the university cap and tassel, which they can throw into the air when they officially graduate – a moment of joy guaranteed! University caps can be black, red, navy blue, yellow… and personalised with a logo or embroidery. Over a certain quantity, the toques can be made in your institution’s Pantone colours.

The significance of the university hat

Also known as a university cap or university hat, the university cap is a hat designed to be thrown on at the end of the graduation ceremony. Fitted with a pompom (or tassel), it must be turned from right to left to commemorate the end of studies.

Like the university gown, this cap is the symbol of each student’s successful university career. At HEMREX, we’ve been specialising in the manufacture of award ceremony clothing since 2008. If you’re looking for a university cap, don’t hesitate to call on us for our expertise.

The university cap, a symbolic accessory

At graduation ceremonies, when all the graduates have been called up and have received their diplomas from the headmaster, they gather for the final photo, during which all the students throw their hats, a gesture symbolising the completion of their years of study.

We offer a wide range of university caps on our website, in a variety of colours, and we’ll be happy to help you make your choice. The hats can also be customised, and we can offer you screen printing or embroidery. The tassels are also available in several colours, and you can add the clip of the year of the promotion.

University caps and gowns

Our company has specialised in graduation regalia and award ceremony accessories since 2008.

Depending on the quantities required, we can respond quickly to your request. We have stock available for university gowns and university caps without personalisation. Depending on your degree, the university cap may be different. For doctoral students, the cap is replaced by a velvet beret with 4, 6 or 8 sides and a gold tassel. We also offer these products for hire, and students can buy the gown and/or university cap at the end of the ceremony if they wish, as a souvenir. The university caps come in one size only and are made with elastic. If required, we can also produce made-to-measure toques. Please do not hesitate to contact us for these requests.
