Abstract

Two Swedish universities wanted their own gowns, but getting them to know why they wanted their own gowns was a different matter, writes Kerstin Fröberg. "This is how I became a robemaker: by chance. This is how I became an academic robe designer: by necessity." [Excerpt].

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