The professorial "Talar" can be described as a long black gown with wide sleeves, often with lapels in faculty colour, while deans wear a "Talar" completely in faculty colour. Rectors typically have a distinguished, more elaborate "Talar", e.g., made of velvet, coloured in red, or with gold embroidery. At some universities, the rector additionally wears a chain of office and, at some occasions, carries a scepter. The cap that accompanies the "Talar" is called "Barett". As is the case with the "Talar", which type of cap is used varies by university as well. Historically, caps made of soft materials rather than the square academic cap are common. The colour of the "Barett" matches the "Talar".
