The mortarboard sits at the top, flat and tilted at a slight angle the way it looks when someone actually tosses it. Its all black satin fill with that distinctive flat square board on top and the amber-edged base band underneath, matching tassel hanging down the right side. Clean, simple, reads immediately as graduation without any fuss.
Below the cap the word "HATS" runs in big blocky amber satin letters. Not thin outline text, proper chunky filled caps that you can read from ten feet away, its the kind of letterform that works on a tee front or a tote bag at equal distance. Then "off" drops in below in a loose black cursive script with a nice forward lean to it, softer and more casual against the bold caps above. Under everything a rolled diploma scroll sits horizontally, black with amber ribbon tied in the centre. 2 colours only, 2 thread changes, stitch range is 4,897 to 15,127 across the five sizes.
I sold alot of these to a school party planner in ohio last may who was running a senior graduation event for a high school that uses amber and onyx as its school colours. She grabbed the 5.9-inch for tote bags and the 4-inch for tee front pockets. Neither size disappointed, the bold block letters hold their shape even on cotton-polyester blends. graduation party hosts order this one because it works for both teachers and students without spelling out a year, so you can reuse the design for upcoming classes too.
Stitch on white, cream or dark fabric depending on which you want to pop. White cotton with amber and black stitching is the classic look. Skip dark charcoal here, the black diploma and black cursive disappear against a near-black ground. Use a tearaway stabiliser on cotton twill, switch to cutaway on jersey or stretchy tee fabric. Pair a small 2.5-inch version on a tote bag pocket, hoop the full 5.9-inch across a back pack flap for a bold graduating senior statement.
Email me if you need the design matched to a different school colour pair and Ill tell ya what can be done with the file.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
