King's College undergraduate gown

Gown Guide


King's College

King's College undergraduates wear the unmodified gown but made of costume cloth. While Peterhouse (where undergraduates wear the basic gown too) is the oldest college, King's is the first to present its graduands for admission to degrees at a Congregation of the Regent House.
