18th Degree Scottish Rite Apron White Red Moire – Knight Rose Croix Gold Embroidery

Description

18th Degree Scottish Rite Apron White Red Moire – Knight Rose Croix Gold Embroidery

The moment an 18th Degree officer ties this apron before a Rose Croix ceremony, the room registers the change. Red moire ribbon borders catch the light from every angle as the officer moves into position, and the gold hand embroidery across the front body announces the Knight Rose Croix degree before a single word of the ritual is spoken.

White satin forms the apron body, bordered in red moire ribbon that carries the distinctive watered silk pattern specific to formal Scottish Rite wear. That moire surface shifts under Lodge lighting as the officer turns, producing the visual depth that plain ribbon cannot replicate. Against the white ground, the contrast is immediate. A visiting 32nd Degree Mason across the room recognizes the degree colors without moving closer.

Hand embroidery in gold thread covers the front face of this apron. The rose and cross symbol at the center, the eagle below it, the floral wreath framing the design, and the ornamental detail at each lower corner are all worked by hand in gold bullion and rayon thread. Machine-stitched embroidery produces flat, even lines. Hand work produces depth and dimension that shifts under lighting, giving each symbol the visual weight the 18th Degree carries in Scottish Rite ritual. The Pelican symbol, the red cross, and the radiating heart above all confirm the degree level to any AASR officer who reads the piece.

The apron body measures 40 by 36 centimeters, sized for formal ceremony wear with enough surface area for the full embroidery layout to read correctly from across the chapter room. Soft padding underneath the front face gives the apron its body and prevents the satin from lying flat against the officer, allowing the embroidery to sit proud of the surface where lighting can reach it. A rear pocket sits behind the apron body, holding a jewel or small regalia item without adding visible bulk to the front.

The adjustable belt runs through channels on the rear and fastens with a gold-plated snake fitting that locks at the waist and holds its position through a full degree ceremony without requiring adjustment. The rear panel carries a black ground with red cross, completing the 18th Degree color requirements on both faces of the apron.

Available in imitation leather or lambskin, the choice of body material does not alter the embroidery work or the moire ribbon border.

The rear pocket sits deep enough to hold a Rose Croix jewel without pulling the apron body forward.
