GraduationMall Graduation Doctoral Tam Velvet with Gold Bullion Tassel

This is a nice tam. I needed a tam to complete my faculty regalia and this arrived quickly. It is adjustable to fit a variety of head sizes, which is nice. The material is soft and "floppy" which feels nice to wear. I wish the short end of the tassel was stitched down, as it tends to stick up in the air if not managed, so I might have to find a solution for that, but otherwise this should serve me well.

This velvet doctoral tam is a great quality for the price and a fine fit. I'll look splendid leading in the faculty as Grand Marshal this coming spring.

I’m a bigger guy and this cap had a hard time staying on during the ceremony. It looks fine and the quality is good. Consider other options if you have a big head (I mean physically not just because you’re graduating with your doctorate!!).

My husband bought this Tam for my graduation since I was given a traditional mortar board. My husband thought that this was unacceptable since we had both sacrificed so much for me to get my degree. I was worried about wearing it since it was not the one that came with my robe but the faculty said it was perfect. My father even complimented my husband for getting me the Tam. It was perfect!

I ordered the doctoral tam in both black and blue colors. They both look fabulous! I have dreaded going to the commencement for years, and never liked wearing the (unattractive) gown and tam. But these tams are of fashion style and very high quality. The fabric is substantial and soft. Feels luxurious. So I'm now looking forward to attending the commencement in a week.I often shop for good deals but these are worth every penny with the original price ($29.99).Thank you Amazon for carrying such quality items.

This was a last minute order, with only 9 days until commencement. I didn't want to spend a lot of money either (I also ordered a robe from the same vendor).This is the 8-sided Tam. The velvet is good quality. There is an inner liner made from a silky material. The tassel is good quality and secured at the top and side. This Tam fits many different size heads by using an adjustable Velcro strap in the back, but is well hidden with the silky material banding.My only complaint is that the Tam didn't hold its shape very well. The points were not pronounced, and the sides flopped down.Overall I would recommend you buy this Tam if you are on a tight budget and only needed it once.

It’s adjustable so fit my daughter perfectly!! Good quality.

Order early enough before graduation to correct any mistakes. The wrong color blue arrived than what I ordered. I chose royal blue, but got a dull, dark navy color. That matters when matching your school colors. The tassel was fine and so was the material, however.
