Master Mason Blue Lodge Collar – Dark Blue Velvet Gold Bullion Braid

Description

Master Mason Blue Lodge Collar – Dark Blue Velvet Gold Bullion Braid

Master Mason Blue Lodge Collar is constructed as a single-piece jointless form from dark blue velvet, running 4 inches wide across the full collar length from shoulder point to shoulder point. Single-piece construction means there are no join seams along the collar run, eliminating the weak points that multi-piece collars develop at the join positions after repeated wearing and removal. The 4 inch velvet width provides a substantial collar presence across the shoulders and chest, sitting prominently against the officer dress beneath it during formal Blue Lodge ceremony.

Dark blue velvet carries a deep directional pile that shifts tone as light moves across the surface, reading darker from some angles and richer from others under Lodge room lighting. That tonal variation gives the collar a visual depth that flat fabric of the same color cannot produce, and the dark blue ground holds the gold braid border and gold bullion embroidery in strong contrast across the full collar width.

A metallic golden braid runs along the border of the collar, measuring half an inch wide. From the image, the gold braid sits along both the inner and outer edges of the dark blue velvet, running the full collar length as a continuous border line. Half-inch metallic braid at this weight carries a firm, flat construction that sits flush against the velvet surface without lifting at the edges, keeping the gold border line sharp and consistent from shoulder point to the collar apex at every wearing.

The input confirms hand embroidery using golden bullion threads on this collar. Bullion thread is wound metallic cord worked directly into the velvet pile, producing a raised dimensional result that sits above the fabric surface rather than lying flat. From the image, a Square and Compass badge is worked in gold bullion at the lower right of the collar front, with clear symbol definition between the square, the compass arms, and the central letter G. Hand bullion work at this level produces raised definition and color density that machine passes cannot replicate at the same depth.

A soft blue polyester lining covers the back of the collar. The polyester lining sits against the neck and shoulders during wear, providing a smooth surface that does not catch on shirt collars or jacket lapels during movement. Blue polyester lining also prevents the dark blue velvet pile from direct contact with the skin, protecting the pile structure from the flattening that repeated direct contact causes over time.

A metal jewel hook sits on the back of the collar for jewel attachment when the officer’s degree or rank requires one. The hook allows a jewel to hang from the collar lower point cleanly without pulling the velvet out of alignment or creating visible distortion at the attachment position during formal Lodge wear.

The jointless single-piece construction distributes the collar weight evenly along its full arc, keeping the collar flat across the shoulders without pulling toward either side. The gold bullion Square and Compass badge at the lower collar front holds its raised definition across repeated ceremony use without the thread separation that flat embroidery develops at the design edges over time.
