Wolfson College undergraduate gown

Gown Guide


Wolfson College

Wolfson is a graduate college which also admits about some mature or affiliated undergraduates; its undergraduate gown is therefore rarely seen.

The gown is the basic gown with no forearm slit. The sleeve is gathered above the elbow and the gathers held in place by a blue cord and button.

This gown is used by all the colleges which primarily admit either postgraduates or mature undergraduates.
