Masonic OES Past Master Sash Purple Velvet Gold Trim and Fringe
Passed through the oriental chair, a Past Master carries something no title or name badge can communicate on its own. The Masonic OES Past Master Sash is the visible marker of that completion. Purple velvet. Gold trim and fringe. A machine embroidered OES logo placed where every member in the chapter room will see it at a glance.
That distinction matters. There are members who have served in that station and members who have not. This sash makes the difference clear without a word being said, and it does so in a way that honours the weight of what completing that office actually represents.
At eighty-eight inches long and five inches wide, the drape is substantial. It covers the body with purpose, not decoration. The red satin lining on the reverse adds structure you feel before you see it. Satin holds its shape, resists creasing, and sits close to the body in a way that keeps the sash in position through a full lodge ceremony without constant readjusting.
And the machine embroidery on the OES logo is consistent and precise. Thread by thread. Same result every time. That matters on ceremonial regalia that represents a level of service most members will not reach.
Worth noting for any Past Master returning to active lodge work: the length and finish of the Masonic OES Past Master Sash hold up through regular chapter use. The velvet does not flatten quickly. The gold trim keeps its colour. These things only become obvious over time, but they matter.
Every Masonic OES Past Master Sash is individually inspected before dispatch, ensuring it arrives in perfect ceremonial condition.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When is a Past Master expected to wear this sash during OES chapter ceremony?

The purple velvet and gold trim identify the station clearly, making it an important piece of ceremonial dress for any member who has served in the oriental chair.
Q: How is the OES logo applied to this sash and how does it hold up over time?
A: The OES logo is machine embroidered, producing clean and consistent thread work with well-defined edges. Machine embroidery on velvet holds its shape through repeated use and delivers a more precise and lasting finish than screen printed or iron-on alternatives.
Q: What are the exact dimensions of this Past Master sash?
A: The Masonic OES Past Master Sash measures 88 inches in length and 5 inches in width. These dimensions provide a full ceremonial drape when worn across the body at formal OES meetings and chapter installations.
Q: How should this sash be stored and maintained between chapter meetings?
A: Dry cleaning is the preferred method for maintaining the purple velvet and gold trim. Between uses, store the sash rolled loosely or laid flat away from direct light to preserve the velvet depth and prevent the gold fringe from tangling or losing its shape.
