Red Moiré Apron - Master Mason Scottish Rite (AASR & Craft Freemasonry)

Red Moiré Master Mason Apron – Scottish Rite / AASR

Material & Base:

Crafted from high-quality white leather or imitation leather, symbolizing purity and the moral rectitude expected of a Master Mason.

The surface is smooth, durable, and designed for long-term ceremonial use.

Trim & Moiré Detail:

Striking red moiré ribbon trim borders the apron and flap, offering a rich, ceremonial look.

The moiré pattern gives a shimmering, wavy effect to the ribbon, enhancing visual depth and elegance.

Red is the color of zeal, sacrifice, and spiritual passion, deeply associated with higher degrees of the Scottish Rite.

Flap Design:

The traditional triangular bib or flap is also edged in red moiré and may bear a discreet embroidered emblem such as the compasses or triple tau, depending on jurisdiction.

The flap represents the veil between the profane and sacred, lifted through the Masonic journey.

Emblems (Optional/Customizable):

Central emblem options may include:

Triple Tau (symbolizing the union of divine truths)

Square & Compasses with Sunburst

Or Rose & Cross motifs if linked to higher Scottish Rite philosophy

Embroidery is typically gold or crimson, complementing the red trim.

Waistband & Fastening:

Fitted with a red adjustable web belt or ribbon tie, with a metal clasp or buckle closure for secure and comfortable fit during lodge work.

The back may include a discreet lining or pocket, depending on the supplier.

Symbolism:

The red color, especially in moiré, denotes dedication, fervency, and the inner fire of Masonic labor and transformation.

This apron bridges the symbolic teachings of the Craft degrees with the deeper philosophical journey of the Scottish Rite.

Usage:

Primarily worn by Master Masons working within the Scottish Rite or Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite (AASR) jurisdictions where red is the prescribed color for the degree.

Suitable for both ceremonial use and formal lodge gatherings within Chapters, Lodges of Perfection, or philosophical degrees.
