DOCTORAL TAMS FOR SALE – PREMIUM QUALITY ACADEMIC HEADWEAR

Welcome to Academic Hoods, your premier destination for doctoral tams crafted with elegance and tradition. Whether you're preparing for graduation or an academic ceremony, our PhD tams offer the highest level of quality, comfort, and prestige.

WHAT IS A DOCTORAL TAM?

A doctoral tam is a traditional piece of academic regalia worn by those who have earned a doctorate degree. Unlike mortarboards, which are more common for bachelor’s and master’s graduates, a PhD tam features a soft, velvet design with a gold or black tassel. The number of sides on a tam often varies, with 4-sided, 6-sided, and 8-sided tams being the most popular.

TYPES OF DOCTORAL TAMS

At Academic Hoods, we offer a variety of doctoral tams to suit your needs:

4-SIDED DOCTORAL TAM – A classic choice, often selected by those who prefer a more structured look.
6-SIDED DOCTORAL TAM – A popular option that balances tradition with a distinguished academic appearance.
8-SIDED DOCTORAL TAM – The most prestigious and widely chosen PhD tam, offering a refined and sophisticated look.

Each doctoral tam in our collection is made from high-quality velvet and includes a choice of gold bullion or silky tassels to match your university's academic dress requirements.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT DOCTORAL TAM

Selecting the right PhD tam depends on a few factors:

  • University Requirements: Some universities have specific guidelines regarding the number of sides on a tam or the color of the tassel.
  • Comfort & Fit: Our doctoral tams come in adjustable sizes to ensure a perfect fit for every graduate.
  • Personal Preference: If you prefer a more traditional look, go for a 4-sided tam, but if you want a distinguished, professional appearance, an 8-sided doctoral tam is an excellent choice.

DOCTORAL TAM VS. MORTARBOARD – WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

A doctoral tam and a doctoral mortarboard are both common academic headwear, but there are key differences:

Feature Doctoral Tam Doctoral Mortarboard
Shape Soft, round, multiple sides Flat, square top
Material Velvet Polyester or felt
Tassel Options Gold or black bullion tassel Standard graduation tassel
Who Wears It? Doctorate recipients, professors Bachelor's & some master’s graduates

A PhD tam is considered more prestigious and is often the preferred choice for doctoral graduates, professors, and faculty members at academic institutions.

WHEN TO WEAR A DOCTORAL TAM

You should wear a doctoral tam for:

🎓 Graduation Ceremonies – Most doctoral graduates wear a PhD tam instead of a mortarboard.
🎓 Academic Conferences – Faculty members often wear doctoral tams during official events.
🎓 Commencement Ceremonies – If you’re a professor or university staff, a doctoral tam is part of the official academic dress code.

HOW TO PROPERLY WEAR A DOCTORAL TAM

  1. Position the Tam: Place the tam on your head so that it sits comfortably and evenly.
