Robe is a dress sometimes taken on by faculty on important academic events like graduation or inauguration. The colour, the length of the hood[?] and the form of the arms give indications of the university of origin and the rank. Three stripes[?] on the arm are allowed to wear only by faculty with a Phd[?] (doctor title).
