Description

18th Degree Rose Croix Scottish Rite Apron – Red Border Colorful Emblem

18th Degree Rose Croix Scottish Rite Apron carries the Knight Rose Croix degree in a clean white apron body framed by red borders, the color pairing holding direct symbolic meaning within the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite at this degree level. The white field reads crisp against formal Scottish Rite dress, yet the red border gives the piece its degree identity from the moment it is worn into the chapter room.

The central emblem anchors the apron body at its lower center position, worked in multiple colors against the white field. A crowned pelican in her piety forms the primary figure of the badge, rendered in gold with a red cross at the chest and a red jewel accent at the crown. Below the pelican figure, a gold banner ribbon completes the base of the emblem composition. The pelican and crown motif carries the Rose Croix degree symbolism directly, referencing the themes of sacrifice and spiritual renewal central to the 18th degree, and the colorful embroidered finish brings that iconography forward with visible detail at ceremony distance.

Red borders run the full perimeter of the bib and apron body at two inches wide on the apron field and one and a half inches wide on the triangular flap above. The border width is consistent across every edge, giving the apron a clean, regulation appearance when worn. Red fine polyester lining covers the reverse face of the apron, keeping the back presentation neat against formal dress while the front carries the full emblem display.

At 14 inches high by 16 inches wide excluding fringe, the apron body sits at a proportion suited to formal Scottish Rite chapter wear. Three material options are available: synthetic, leather, and lambskin. Each carries the same red border construction and central emblem placement, with the material choice affecting the weight and surface character of the white apron field. Lambskin holds traditional Masonic significance, leather suits regular degree work, and synthetic offers a practical option for frequent ceremony use.

The 40-inch adjustable waist belt accommodates a wide range of waist sizes and fastens with a golden metal snake fitting that matches the gold tones of the central emblem. A practical glove pocket sits on the interior, keeping a standard pair of Lodge gloves stored without creating visible bulk on the front face of the apron during Rose Croix chapter ceremony and Scottish Rite formal occasions.

The red polyester back lining holds its color through repeated degree work, and the border construction keeps its width and edge definition across the full perimeter without fraying or pulling at the corners after extended ceremonial use.
