Lindisfarne College of Theology Academic Hood
The unique design of the Lindisfarne College of Theology Academic Hood combines scholastic tradition with liturgical symbolism. Theology is represented by the rich red binding, while the academic discipline is indicated by the distinctive colour or pattern of the hood's turquoise liripipe, which aligns with Lindisfarne College of Theology's colours . This elegant accoutrement stands for both academic success and dedication to the study of theology.
Hat sizes
Please measure your head circumference before choosing a fitted hat, bonnet or cap
This can be done by measuring around your head approximately 2" (5cms) above your eyebrows.
If in between sizes, it is always advisable to choose a size higher and leave yourself a little bit of room to breathe!
Adult Gown Sizes
Please choose a gown based upon your overall standing height. For example, if you are 5'5 (167cms) tall and of average stature, please chose the gown that is for someone of 5'3-5'6 (161cm-170cm).
If you are of a broader stature, please bear in mind that the bottom hem of the gown will sit a little higher as there is more fabric required to cover the body. Therefore, you may wish to choose a height increment above your standing height.
This guidance mainly applies to female wearers, who wear a dress size 18 (bust size 44') or over.
