30th Degree Scottish Rite Collar – Black Moire CKS Knight of Kadosh

Description

30th Degree Scottish Rite Collar – Black Moire CKS Knight of Kadosh

30th Degree Scottish Rite Collar construction starts with an 11 cm wide moire ribbon cut in a deep V-chevron format that drapes cleanly from the neckline across both shoulders. Moire ribbon carries a watered wave pattern pressed into the weave during manufacture, so the black face shifts between deep charcoal and rich jet depending on the angle of Lodge room light. That optical quality is built into the fabric structure itself, not applied as a surface finish, which means it holds through repeated ceremony use without fading or flattening.

The white letters C∴ K∴ appear on the upper arms of the collar with S∴ centered below, each marked with the traditional triple-dot punctuation that signals the degree abbreviation format used across Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite documentation. Between these letters, a pair of gold crossed swords sits at the convergence point of the two collar arms, placing the Knight of Kadosh insignia precisely where it reads strongest during formal degree ritual. The grey border trim runs the full length of both collar arms, giving the black moire face a clean white-grey edge that separates it sharply from any robe or jacket beneath.

The 30th degree, Knight of Kadosh, carries one of the most demanding initiatory sequences in Scottish Rite degree work. Officer wear at this level signals years of Lodge progression, and the collar construction reflects that weight. The black back panel keeps the reverse face as clean as the front, so the collar reads correctly whether the officer is facing the Lodge or turning during ceremonial movement.

A swivel hook at the base of the collar provides a secure attachment point for a degree jewel if desired. Swivel hooks allow the jewel to hang level without torquing the collar body sideways, which keeps the letter and sword placement centered through the full meeting. The hook is included with the collar and requires no additional fitting.

At 11 cm ribbon width, the collar sits with enough body to hold its V-shape without stiffening aids, which matters during extended officer wear at degree ceremonies and Lodge meetings. The grey border width stays consistent across the full drape length, so the trim proportion reads the same at the shoulder as it does at the bottom point. Scottish Rite officer collars at this degree level are worn over dark formal dress, and the black moire face against the grey border gives the piece enough visual contrast to read as formal ceremony wear without requiring additional decoration.

Product Features

11 cm Wide Black Moire Ribbon Body

The 11 cm width gives the collar enough drape weight to hold its V-chevron shape naturally across the shoulders without additional stiffening, keeping the front face flat and symbol placement visible throughout ceremony.

White Grey Border Trim Running Full Length

Consistent border width from shoulder to tip separates the black moire face from any garment beneath and frames the CKS lettering and crossed swords within a clean visual boundary.

Gold Crossed Swords Knight of Kadosh Insignia

Positioned at the convergence point of both collar arms, the crossed swords sit where the eye naturally reads first, immediately identifying the 30th degree rank to any officer or brother in the Lodge room.

Black Back Panel

The reverse face matches the front in color and finish, keeping the collar correct from all viewing angles during ceremonial movement and degree work.

Swivel Hook for Jewel Attachment

The included swivel hook allows a degree jewel to hang level without pulling the collar body to one side, maintaining correct letter and insignia placement through the full ceremony.
