Past Commander Knights Templar Commandery Apron in Black with Hand Embroidered Emblem and Gold Fringe

Marking a rank earned through years of dedicated Commandery service, the Past Commander apron carries a visual authority that reflects exactly what that office represents. Black velvet borders, gold metallic fringe running the full perimeter of both apron and flap, and a hand embroidered emblem at the centre — this is regalia built around the gravity of the position, not around decoration for its own sake.

The black velvet border runs two inches wide on the apron body and one and a half inches on the flap. Non-reflective, tight-ribbed, it frames the composition without competing with the gold fringe that anchors the outer edge. And that fringe — one and a half inches of golden metallic fringe, multi-point reinforced at every attachment — moves correctly at ceremony and holds its lustre through repeated Commandery proceedings without the drooping or tarnishing that cheaper metallic trim tends to show after a season or two.

Hand embroidery on the central emblem. Worked individually, not produced by machine, with the depth and definition that the Knightly symbols deserve at Past Commander level. Each stitch placed with intention. And honestly most Sir Knights who have stood beside a brother wearing properly hand embroidered regalia at Commandery will tell you the difference in presence is immediately apparent.

Three material options available — synthetic, leather, or genuine lambskin. All three maintain the geometric precision of the apron through active ceremonial use. Lambskin carries the most traditional standing in Masonic regalia history and for a rank like Past Commander, many Sir Knights find that choice appropriate. But the leather and synthetic options are serious alternatives, not compromises.

Personalization is available, which for a commemorative rank like Past Commander makes particular sense.

Adjustable 40-inch waist belt with golden metal snake fastener and adjuster. Matching black fine polyester lining on the reverse. Apron measures 14 inches high by 16 inches wide, fringe excluded. Dry clean only.

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