29th Degree Scottish Rite Collar – Green Moire Red Border Knight of Saint Andrew

Description

29th Degree Scottish Rite Collar – Green Moire Red Border Knight of Saint Andrew

29th Degree Scottish Rite Collar construction starts with an 11 cm wide green moire ribbon body cut in a deep V-chevron format, the moire weave pressing a watered wave pattern into the green face during manufacture so the collar surface shifts between deep forest and bright emerald depending on the direction of Lodge room light. That optical quality is structural, built into the ribbon weave itself rather than applied as a surface coating, which means the light-shifting character of the green face holds through repeated Scottish Rite ceremony wear without dulling or flattening over time. At 11 cm width, the ribbon carries enough body to hold the V-chevron shape across both collar arms without requiring stiffening, so the drape stays natural from neckline to tip throughout the degree meeting.

The red border trim runs the full length of both collar arms, sitting at the outer edge of the green moire face and giving the collar a clean color boundary that separates it visually from any dark robe or jacket worn beneath. Red against green moire produces a contrast that reads at Lodge room distance without requiring the border to carry significant width, so the trim stays proportionally correct on the 11 cm ribbon without overpowering the green face. The green back panel matches the front face color, keeping the reverse side as clean as the front during ceremonial movement and degree work where the collar may be visible from multiple angles.

The 29th degree, Scottish Knight of Saint Andrew, sits within the Ineffable Degrees section of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, a degree sequence that requires precise officer dress as part of the conferral format. Collar construction at this degree level signals both rank and preparation, and the moire ribbon choice reflects the standard used across AASR officer collars where fabric quality contributes directly to the visual formality of the degree occasion. Scottish Rite degree wear at this level is typically paired with dark formal dress, and the green moire face against the red border gives the collar enough distinction to read clearly without additional embellishment.

A swivel hook at the base of the collar provides an attachment point for a degree jewel if desired. Swivel construction allows the jewel to hang level without torquing the collar body sideways, keeping the V-chevron drape centered and the collar arms hanging at equal length through the full meeting. The hook is included and requires no separate fitting or modification to the collar body. Yet the collar reads as complete formal ceremony wear without a jewel attached, since the green moire face and red border carry the full degree identification on their own.

Product Features

11 cm Wide Green Moire Ribbon Body

The moire weave presses a watered wave pattern into the green face at manufacture, giving the collar surface a structural light-shifting quality that holds through repeated Scottish Rite degree ceremony wear without surface treatment.

Red Border Trim Full Length Both Arms

The red trim runs the complete length of each collar arm from neckline to tip, creating a clean color boundary that separates the green moire face from dark formal dress beneath at Lodge room viewing distance.

V-Chevron Format with Natural Drape

At 11 cm width the ribbon holds its V-chevron shape across both collar arms without stiffening aids, so the drape sits naturally from neckline to convergence point through extended degree wear.

Green Back Panel

The reverse face matches the front collar color, keeping the collar correct from all viewing angles during ceremonial movement and degree conferral where both faces may be visible.

Swivel Hook for Jewel Attachment

The included swivel hook at the collar base allows a degree jewel to hang level without pulling either collar arm sideways, maintaining the centered V-chevron drape through the full meeting.

FAQ

Q: What degree is this collar designed for?

A: This collar is made for the 29th degree of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, known as the Scottish Knight of Saint Andrew.

Q: What fabric is the collar made from and what does moire mean?

A: The collar is made from moire ribbon, a fabric where a watered wave pattern is pressed into the weave during manufacture. This gives the green face a light-shifting quality that changes appearance with viewing angle.

Q: Does the swivel hook come fitted or is it separate?

A: The swivel hook is included with the collar at no additional fitting required. It attaches at the base convergence point and allows a degree jewel to hang level without pulling the collar arms out of alignment.

Q: How wide is the collar and will it hold its shape during ceremony?

A: The ribbon is 11 cm wide, which gives the collar enough natural body to hold the V-chevron shape across both arms without stiffening aids through the full Scottish Rite degree meeting.
