Abstract

Introduction: What tales do tailors tell? In the cut of the clothes and the drape of the cloth are stories that come together like grammar and syntax to express the style of the person wearing them. Messages like these are seen from the outside. Your friends recognize you in your favourite blazer because when you wear it, the blazer becomes part of who you are.

Keywords: Academical dress, Origins of university costume, History of academic dress, Academic cap and gown
