Junior Warden Scottish Rite Officer Collar – Maroon Velvet

Description

Junior Warden Scottish Rite Officer Collar – Maroon Velvet

The clip at the base point of this collar is the hardware detail that determines whether the jewel hangs correctly throughout the Scottish Rite ceremony or shifts out of position the moment the officer moves. A clip that grips the jewel ring fully and holds it against the velvet face keeps the jewel vertical and centred at the V-point where every eye in the chapter room expects to find it. A stitched metal hook above the clip secures the collar to the officer’s clothing at the neck, keeping the full V in its correct hanging position from shoulder to chest point without the collar walking sideways during procession or degree work.

Maroon velvet forms the complete face of this collar from neck edge to V-point. Velvet at this grade carries a pile depth that reads differently from satin or moire under Scottish Rite chapter lighting — the surface absorbs light rather than reflecting it, which gives the maroon a richness that flat fabric cannot produce. Against that deep maroon ground, the hand embroidery reads with maximum contrast. Gold bullion thread works the five-pointed star and the degree symbol at the collar face, and silk thread works the green acacia sprig alongside — two thread types chosen because each serves a different visual function on the velvet surface.

Gold bullion thread is wound metal wire. Against maroon velvet it catches light and holds it, which means the star emblem reads clearly from across the chapter room at every angle of the officer’s movement. Silk thread for the green acacia carries a different surface quality — a sheen that reads as botanical rather than metallic, which is exactly what the acacia symbol requires. Hand embroidery places both elements with the stitch tension that gives each its correct dimension on the velvet pile without flattening the surrounding surface.

Black fabric on the reverse of the collar provides the professional finish that velvet construction requires at the back. Where the maroon velvet face catches the eye, the black back sits against the officer’s clothing without showing at the collar edges or creating a visible backing line at the V-point. The complete colour shade guarantee confirms the maroon velvet tone is consistent from the left shoulder drape to the right, across the full collar face, without variation in pile depth or dye saturation between sections.

Junior Warden regalia within the Scottish Rite officer structure carries specific symbol requirements — the star, the acacia, and the degree emblem at the collar face are placed where the degree demands them, not where convenience dictates.

Every detail of this Junior Warden Scottish Rite Officer Collar is built for the brother who holds the Junior Warden chair and wears it with the care the Scottish Rite officer standard demands.
