Gonville and Caius College undergraduate gown

Gown Guide


Gonville and Caius College

The Caius gown is of the basic shape but in blue cloth. The facings are of black velvet as is the yoke. The sleeves are completely open and the two sides edged with black velvet.

This gown is the only one in Cambridge on which the yoke itself is decorated.
