Review on Doctoral Graduation Tam For PhD Graduates - 8 Sided Cap With Blue/Black Velvet And Gold Bullion Tassel by Keith Wolff

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Does not fit — not even close

Unless you have a truly average sized head, do not buy this tam. The price is alluring, but the Velcro strap is not even two inches long. When we are dealing with something like head circumference, that's probably just going to cover the first standard deviation of the population. My head takes about a 7 1/2 fitted size, but this wouldn't fit if I were even a 7. I would be surprised if it fit a 6 3/4. It isn't even close for me, folks. I should have known better, but $29 sounded like a dream. But then again, so does a tenure track job teaching in the "humanities." Looks nice overall though.

Pros
  • exactly what it says it is.
Cons
  • The gold bullion tassel, while visually striking, can be heavy and cumbersome, causing the tam to sit awkwardly on the head and potentially fall off
