For doctors, other than doctors of philosophy and professional doctorates, and for masters of surgery, a festal gown of scarlet cloth, faced on the full length of the lapels to a width of 10 centimetres with coloured silk, with open pointed sleeves fully lined with coloured silk and turned back above the elbow should be worn for academic dress. This should be accompanied with a black velvet bonnet trimmed with gold cord and tassel and a black silk hood.
