The black string that hangs down from
the label on the front of the hood can
be looped on the button of a
shirt or to a top, to prevent the hood from riding up under
the chin. The label should be upside down
on the inside of the hood.
The hood goes over the head, graduates
should bend at the knees to have it
placed over their head.
Loop the black string over a button of a
shirt, pulling the hood slightly downward.
On the back of the hood there is a
4-inch string with a button loop located
midway down. This string is threaded
through the braided loop in the center of
the back of the gown,
and then is buttoned to the other side
of the hood.
The hood has a black tail that hangs
down, and is like a pocket or looks like
a bird's tail.
The colored part of the hood is flipped
or folded slightly outward.
The hood lays flat on shoulders with no
color showing.
