Convenience
What’s easier than grabbing your regalia out of your closet right before the ceremony? You don’t have the hassle of remembering to rent it before everyone else gets the good gowns and then remembering to return it before you get a late fee! Plus, renting can get expensive, especially when you are attending graduations year after year. With roughly two ceremonies a year, the gown quickly pays for itself.
They will actually fit you
When you think of regalia, you probably don’t think of them really fitting anyone! However, when you order your own set, they are made to fit your measurements so you will get a gown that fits your body.
Quality control
Purchasing your own ensures that the quality of your gown is what you want. There is no guarantee that your rental will be the right color, or velvet and fabrics not be faded, or even have working zippers.
Recognition
The “Official Oregon” set is very distinctive and sets alumni apart, plus if you are a college president you can only get the 4th sleeve chevron if you own your own regalia. Hey, you’ve done the work so don’t you want the recognition?
Tax-deductible
Because it is a required uniform and is typically classified as a non-reimbursed work expense Fine Regalia is, in most cases, tax-deductible!
Gift for the grad
We frequently have parents who buy the regalia for their graduate!
