Almoner Scottish Rite Officer Collar in Maroon Velvet with Gold Hand Embroidery

Held within Scottish Rite lodge structure, the Almoner carries a role defined by care, discretion, and quiet service to the brotherhood. The collar worn to mark that office should reflect those qualities. And this one does.

Maroon velvet forms the body of the collar. Deep pile, consistent in shade across the full surface, and rich enough in tone that it reads with authority under ceremony lighting without competing with the jewel or the officer wearing it. The colour guarantee matters here. Maroon velvet that shifts between panels or fades unevenly is a persistent issue with lower quality regalia, and it is avoided entirely in this construction.

Hand embroidery in golden bullion and silk threads runs across the collar face. Worked by hand, not machine, so the finish has that slightly irregular depth that only comes from individually placed stitching. And honestly that is exactly what you want on a collar at this level. Machine embroidery produces clean output. Hand embroidery produces presence.

Black fabric lines the reverse. It sits flush against the wearer’s attire and gives the collar a finished, professional profile from every angle during proceedings. The back finish on regalia is one of those details that separates pieces made to be worn from pieces made to look good in a photograph.

But the attachment hardware is worth noting separately. A clip for jewel placement sits precisely positioned so the jewel hangs correctly without shifting during ritual movement. A stitched metal hook provides the collar attachment itself. Both are built to hold securely through repeated ceremonial use without loosening over time.

Precision-stitched edges throughout. No fraying at the perimeter, no lifting at the border seams after regular wear.

Every collar is individually inspected before dispatch, ensuring it arrives in perfect ceremonial condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this collar appropriate for active Scottish Rite Almoner officers during lodge ceremony?

A: Yes, this lodge regalia is made specifically for the Almoner office within Scottish Rite structure. The maroon velvet, hand embroidery, and jewel clip are all consistent with the ceremonial dress standards expected of a serving officer.

Q: How is the jewel attached to this collar during proceedings?

A: A dedicated clip is precisely positioned on the collar face to hold the jewel securely in the correct hanging position. A stitched metal hook handles the collar attachment itself, keeping everything stable through ritual movement.

Q: Does the hand embroidery hold up through regular ceremonial wear?

A: Golden bullion and silk threads worked by hand produce a durable embroidered surface when stored and handled correctly. Keep the collar flat or hanging in a breathable regalia case between ceremonies and avoid pressure directly on the embroidered areas.

Q: What does the colour shade guarantee mean for this collar?

A: It means the maroon velvet is consistent in tone across the entire collar surface with no variation between panels. This ensures the collar presents a uniform, professional appearance throughout its ceremonial life without uneven fading or mismatched sections.
