Sustainable Regalia Options
UVAFinance continues to support University stakeholders by expanding sustainable and affordable supplier options, including new graduation regalia now available through the UVA Bookstore. Oak Hall, a Virginia-based company headquartered in Roanoke, offers complimentary student regalia made from 100% post-consumer plastic bottles, helping reduce waste while maintaining a traditional academic look. The regalia includes UVA details such as the Rotunda printed inside the back collar, and is supported by a take-back program that allows garments to be recycled after commencement. Oak Hall’s broader sustainability practices include recycling fabric scraps and packaging, using carbon-based dry cleaning, and supporting campus plastic bottle collection programs, with materials processed in South Carolina.
Oak Hall will be part of GradFest in the Bookstore (February 23-27), if you're interested in seeing their products. More information on Oak Hall / More information on UVA Caps & Gowns
