Fabric Types

Our most popular and affordable gown fabric. Lightweight, easily worn over clothing, comfortable in both humid and cool climates. Matt-finish for a smart, dignified look. 170gsm, selected by us for the perfect weight and drape of academic dress.

Wool/Poly Blend

Generally 70% wool and 30% polyester blend. Matt-finish for a smart, dignified look. Selected by us for the perfect weight and drape of academic dress. Blends can be heavier than our polyester or superfine wool depending on availability. Just ask us for assistance regarding wool/poly blend when placing your order.

Superfine Wool

A favorite for academics and professionals. A superior choice of fabric. Select 100% superfine 'cool' wool. Excellent breatheability and lightweight. Comfortable in all conditions. Feels wonderfully smooth and soft to the touch, drapes perfectly. Matt-finish for a smart, dignified look.

Gown sizing is determined by your height (floor to top of head). If you are in-between sizes, we recommend the larger size. Gowns are worn open at the front and are very loose-fitting, so don't worry about the waistline - just go by your height!

Head size is head circumference taken above the eyebrows and ears. Use a tape measure.

*Soft cap mortar boards are slightly elasticised with a little room between sizes. If you are in-between sizes, we recommend the larger size. ie: if you measure 57.5cms, choose a size large.  Head sizing can be tricky. You are welcome to exchange size within 7 days of receiving. 

We use Australia Post for domestic orders and DHL express for international orders. The charges below include shipping and handling $AUD.  

Prices may be subject to change without notice.

Domestic shipping: refer to Australia post for delivery time estimates. Australia post no longer guarantee delivery time frames. Use the tracking number provided to track your parcel on the Australia post website. If there is reason to believe your parcel has gone missing, contact us for assistance. Do not assume that selecting express post means your order will be dispatched within a few days. A lot of our regalia is made to order. Refer lead time tab.

International shipping: international freight is expensive however we only use DHL express for reliability, speed and security. Additional freight charges may apply if your order is unusually large. We will contact you if additional freight charges may apply. Our international freight charges do not include any duties or taxes at your end.

If you would like your regalia for a particular ceremony date, contact us to ask about availability.

Please be aware that most regalia is bespoke and tailor made. We have a made-to-order, small-batch production cycle.

We aim to fulfil all orders within a reasonable time frame, however lead times can be situational, seasonal and will vary depending on our production schedule. 

Please do not assume that by selecting express post that your order will be dispatched within a few days. We are not a pick-and-pack warehouse. 

Please do not assume that we know you want your regalia in time for a ceremony, that we know the date of your ceremony, or that you will receive your regalia in time for your ceremony (refer points below). We recommend having a contingency plan; hire or borrow regalia from a friend, a colleague or your institution.

We cannot control shipping time once a parcel leaves our premises (see shipping tab). 

Some things that are out of our control may delay production. We take all steps necessary to avoid delays but materials and deliveries delay, staff shortages, machine malfunctions, and natural disasters are out of our control.

We thank you for your patience and understanding as our production team work hard to try to meet everyone's requirements. 

Participating in a University ceremony where your award will be conferred?

The following information applies to customers who want to purchase their regalia to wear at a university ceremony where the award relevant to this regalia is being conferred. Please see this page https://www.ghlilley.com.au/pages/university-ceremony

Be sure to follow the laundering instructions on the care label of your garment. 

Our garments come to you pressed and ready-to-wear with minimal creasing from freight. However, we do recommend hanging your garment when not in use and if required, gently iron or steam your robe. (Do not put an iron directly onto any satin lining or facing!)

Every George H Lilley Regalia gown comes with a complimentry robe bag. We recommend using this bag for storeage and travel. Allowing your garment to air regularly will assist to keep your gown in best condition.

Particular care is required if your garment has satin linings or facings. In this case, we recommend that your academic regalia is worn in ceremonies only. Avoid eating or drinking while wearing your regalia as the satin may stain. Take care when handling as pinning or your fingernails could damage the fabric.

If at any time you are not sure on the best of care for your garment then please contact us, the manufacturer, for advice.

Garment specifications.

We work hard to ensure that our hoods precisely match university regulations and those manufactured by other suppliers. Fabrics are custom dyed to match university colours and we use a broad variety of fabric finishes and weights so our customers blend in seamlessly.

Our gowns are made from a high quality 70% recycled polyester and viscose weave, and are finished in a stylish matte black, conforming to the highest standards of traditional Cambridge style academic dress. The yoke of our gowns is tightly pleated and perfectly spaced.

Our mortarboards are made from a soft black felt material with a ribbon finish arround the base of the cap. A flexible cap and 'secure fit' elastic inside the headband ensure all of our mortarboards are a comfortable fit and stay in place on your graduation day.

What to wear to your graduation ceremony.

What should I wear to my graduation ceremony?

Answer ID 245 | Last updated on 03/05/2024 12.45 PM

Graduands attending their UWA Graduation Ceremony must wear the correct academic dress . Your graduation gown is open, so in keeping with the formal occasion we would suggest smart personal attire to accompany your regalia. When choosing your shoes, especially if you intend to wear heels, keep in mind that you'll be walking in procession with your peers from the grassed area in front of the Reid Library to Winthrop Hall, as well as navigating a small number of steps up-to and down-from the stage.

The academic dress graduands are required to wear includes a gown, hood and trencher cap (often referred to as a mortar board). The University has appointed a preferred provider of academic dress - GFP Graduations .  However, graduands may obtain academic dress from any supplier provided the academic dress complies with the University's Policy on Graduation - Academic Dress. For those graduands who choose to order their regalia through GFP Graduations, you can place your order via the UWA On-line Academic Dress Ordering Service supplied by GFP Graduations. Academic dress prices vary according to the award that is being conferred.

You are welcome to wear your religious and/or culturally significant attire for your graduation ceremony. We would prefer that you wear any religious and/or culturally significant cloak on top of the black cloak of the university regalia, but underneath the university coloured silk hood denoting the award you are graduating with.

Trust the Experts

No company knows better than Oak Hall what an integral role graduation regalia plays in the day's ceremonies and festivities. Graduates reaching out to accept diplomas while wearing Oak Hall gowns have graced college commencements for over 130 years.

Oak Hall At A Glance

I work with Oak Hall year round. They are by far my favorite vendor to work with . The staff is attentive, experienced, knowledgeable, and dedicated . I enjoy the fact that I never have to leave a message on a machine and wait for someone to return my call. If the person I am trying to reach is unavailable, there is always someone else ready to help .

Because Oak Hall's focus is on cap and gowns, I have experienced improvements in our overall level of customer service since switching to them. In situations where I have had to order last minute regalia for students or faculty, Oak Hall has been able to resolve the issue and get me what I need by the expected deadline. If you are a school or bookstore thinking of switching to Oak Hall, I would recommend them with strong approval.

Oak Hall has consistently delivered the best quality product on time . Any last-minute needs are taken care of quickly. I know I can call the day before graduation and still get what we need. That peace of mind is invaluable under the stress of commencement.
