Past Master California Regulation Apron – Blue Velvet Gold Fringe

Description

Past Master California Regulation Apron – Blue Velvet Gold Fringe

Past Master California Regulation Apron builds its construction from white glossy satin at the center and blue velvet at every border edge, two materials that serve different roles on the finished piece. Glossy satin reflects light cleanly across the white apron body, giving the central field a bright, polished appearance that anchors the embroidered insignia. Blue velvet carries a pile surface that absorbs light differently, producing a deep, non-reflective navy ground along the borders. The contrast between the two materials is sharp and intentional — satin reflects, velvet absorbs, and the line where they meet defines the apron’s visual structure.

The velvet borders measure two inches wide on the apron body and 1.5 inches wide on the triangular flap, dimensions that frame the white satin field without overwhelming it. White braid runs along the border edges, adding a clean secondary trim line between the velvet and the fringe. At the bottom and side edges, 1.5-inch wide golden metallic fringe hangs in even density, its length consistent across the full span. Metallic fringe carries a different weight and drape to rayon fringe — the metallic thread catches light at the tips and produces a brighter fall along the apron edge during ceremonial movement.

The hand embroidered emblem at the apron center commands the white satin field. From the image, the central Square and Compass with the letter G is worked in gold thread, flanked on both sides by gold Masonic pillars — Jachin and Boaz — rendered with column capital detail. Two circular medallion badges sit between the pillars and the border on each side, their gold borders consistent with the metalwork tone across the rest of the central embroidery. At the top of the navy blue flap, the All-Seeing Eye with a full gold sunburst radiates outward in clean lines. Silver floral vine embroidery runs along the full navy velvet border perimeter, its leaf and stem work consistent in density around every edge including the corners.

The apron measures 14 inches high by 16 inches wide, excluding fringe. That measurement follows California Regulation standard sizing for Past Master aprons, ensuring the piece sits correctly at the waist and covers the ceremonial zone with the right proportion for formal Blue Lodge wear.

The 40-inch adjustable waist belt uses a silver metal snake fastener and adjuster, accommodating waistlines up to 54 inches. A 54-inch accommodation range covers the majority of officers without requiring custom sizing, and the snake fastener grips cleanly without the friction wear that buckle-and-hole systems produce over repeated use. Blue fine polyester fabric lining covers the rear of the apron and includes a glove pocket, allowing the Past Master to store Masonic gloves securely during Lodge ceremony. The apron is available in synthetic, leather, and lambskin materials, giving officers the option to select the material grade that fits their preference and budget. The 1.5-inch golden metallic fringe holds its hang position evenly through the full duration of Lodge ceremony wear.
