Description

28th Degree Scottish Rite Collar – Plain Wide Red Moire Ribbon

28th Degree Scottish Rite Collar arrives as the visual declaration of one of the most philosophically rich degrees in the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite. The Knight of the Sun, or Prince Adept, carries a degree steeped in allegory and light, and the collar worn for that office reflects its gravity through material rather than ornament.

Craftsmen cut the body from wide red moire ribbon, 110 mm across, a width that sits with authority across the shoulders and drapes cleanly down both panels to the center V-point at the chest. Moire fabric earns its place in ceremonial dress through what it does with light. The watered-silk weave produces a ripple pattern across the surface that shifts as the wearer moves through the Lodge room, catching the overhead light at one angle and releasing it at the next. Red moire in motion reads as living cloth rather than flat ribbon, and that quality matters during degree work where every visual element reinforces the atmosphere of the ritual.

The surface carries hand embroidery worked into the fabric, adding a layer of craft that machine production cannot replicate in the same way. The 110 mm ribbon width gives the hand work room to breathe across the panel without crowding the edges, keeping the overall presentation measured and formal. A swivel hook positioned at the bottom of the collar provides a clean attachment point for a jewel when the degree calls for one, hanging free and ready without improvised hardware.

Blue fabric lines the back of the collar, a deliberate contrast to the red face that becomes visible at the neckline where the collar folds and settles against the garment beneath. That blue back is not incidental. Within Scottish Rite degree symbolism, color carries meaning, and the pairing of red and blue on a single collar reflects the layered symbolism that the 28th degree explores through its allegory of light, truth, and the philosophical journey of the Prince Adept.

Scottish Rite degree ceremonies demand that officers present with visual consistency from one convocation to the next. A collar cut from wide moire ribbon holds its drape reliably because the woven structure of moire resists the collapse that lighter ribbons develop after repeated folding and handling. The 110 mm width maintains its flat presentation across the shoulder span without rolling at the edges, remaining Lodge ready through the full ceremony.

When a brother stands before his chapter in the 28th degree, the collar he wears identifies his place in the ritual as clearly as any spoken word. Red moire carries that identification with a richness that plain satin cannot match, the fabric doing the work of distinction so the degree work itself can remain the focus of the room.

The swivel hook at the collar base holds any attached jewel steady through the full ceremony without rotation or drift.
