Mark Grand Officers Collar – Purple Blue Moire Gold Fringe English Regulation

Description

Mark Grand Officers Collar – Purple Blue Moire Gold Fringe English Regulation

Mark Grand Officers Collar belongs to a small number of brothers in any jurisdiction. Grand Officer rank is earned across years of dedicated service to the Craft, and the collar worn at that level needs to reflect what that service represents. This piece does exactly that.

The two-colour ribbon runs four inches wide in purple and blue moire — a fabric that shifts its tone as it catches light from different angles. Standing still in the Lodge room, the collar reads as a deep contrast of royal blue and magenta purple. Turn slightly and the moire weave pulls a subtle iridescence across both colours, the way quality ribbon fabric behaves when woven with that particular cross-pattern. No two angles produce quite the same reading, which gives the collar a presence that flat-weave alternatives cannot achieve.

The V-shape falls cleanly from the shoulders, sitting flat against formal dress without bunching at the neckline or pulling at the sides. A stitched metal hook at the neck secures the collar firmly in position, so it holds its line from the opening procession through to the final working. A dedicated jewel clip sits at the front — positioned for clean, secure attachment of the Grand Officer jewel without improvised fixes.

Gold fringe finishes the lower edge of the collar, adding weight that keeps the ribbon lying flat against the body during ceremony. That fringe weight matters in a four-inch ribbon — without it, wider collar styles tend to curl or lift at the lower border under the heat of a Lodge room.

Among the brothers seated in the Lodge room, a Grand Officer collar in purple and blue moire reads immediately as a mark of senior rank. There is a quiet pride in wearing something that the room recognises without explanation — a collar that communicates years of Masonic service before a single word is spoken.

The stitched metal hook, the jewel clip, the moire weave, and the gold fringe work together as a complete system built for the demands of Grand Officer ceremonial wear, Lodge after Lodge.

Product Features

Four-inch two-colour purple and blue moire ribbon

Wider than standard officer collars at four inches — the moire weave produces a light-shifting iridescence that flat-weave ribbon cannot replicate under Lodge room lighting.

Gold fringe lower edge

Weighted fringe keeps the four-inch ribbon lying flat against the body during ceremony — prevents the curl and lift that wider collars show without proper fringe anchoring.

Stitched metal hook at neckline

Secures the collar firmly in position from the first moment of wear — holds the V-shape flat through procession and full ceremonial working without shifting.

Jewel clip for Grand Officer insignia

Dedicated attachment point positioned correctly for the Grand Officer jewel — no improvised fixes, no movement of the jewel during ceremony.

Q: What does moire fabric look like compared to standard ribbon?

A: Moire fabric has a cross-woven pattern that creates a light-shifting, slightly iridescent surface. Under Lodge room lighting it shifts tone as the wearer moves — standard flat-weave ribbon does not produce this effect.

Q: Does this collar come ready to attach a Grand Officer jewel?

A: Yes. A dedicated jewel clip is built into the collar at the correct front position — no additional fitting or modification needed before wearing.

Q: Is this collar cut to English Regulation dimensions for Mark Grand Officers?

A: Yes. The collar is constructed to English Regulation specification — four-inch ribbon width, purple and blue moire combination, and stitched metal hook attachment as required for Mark Grand Officers Undress wear.
