Description

Scottish Rite 32nd Degree Collar – Black Moire White Borders

Scottish Rite 32nd Degree Collar arrives as a precisely constructed piece of officer wear built for the Master of the Royal Secret. The black moire ribbon body measures 11 cm in width, a dimension that gives the collar its commanding V-fall across the chest without overpowering the body of the wearer. Moire ribbon carries a distinct woven wave pattern within the fabric itself — that rippled optical finish catches light differently at each angle, giving the collar a quiet visual depth that flat satin or plain grosgrain cannot produce.

The white border lines run clean and straight along both outer edges of the ribbon, their contrast against the black ground sharp enough to define the collar’s shape from across the Lodge room. Borders this consistent require accurate edge finishing during construction — no drifting, no uneven margin. From the product image, both white trim lines hold their position with precision along the full V-length of the collar.

At the neckline, a small gold swivel hook sits mounted at the top join point. That hook accepts a jewel attachment, giving the 32nd Degree officer the option to hang his degree jewel in the correct ceremonial position. The swivel mechanism allows the jewel to hang and turn naturally rather than sitting rigid — a functional construction detail that matters during movement in formal Lodge ceremony or Scottish Rite degree work.

The reverse of the collar is finished in red, a traditional colour pairing in Scottish Rite officer wear. That red backing is not decorative surface dressing — it is the inner face of the collar as it rests against the officer’s robe or jacket, and the contrast between the black moire front and the red back is visible at the open neckline of the V, exactly as seen in the image.

At the base of the V, a gold sunburst radiates outward from a central point. Fourteen rays extend in clean lines around the burst, and at the centre, the numeral 32 is worked in white against the dark field. Two crossed swords flank the sunburst on either side, their handles pointing downward, their gold finish matching the sunburst metalwork. This central insignia identifies the degree clearly and sits as the focal element of the full collar design.

Worn during Scottish Rite degree conferral or at formal Lodge meetings, the 11 cm ribbon width gives the collar enough presence to read clearly at a distance, yet the moire construction keeps the drape controlled and close to the body. The swivel hook closure at the neckline holds the two collar panels joined cleanly at the top without visible bulk. The collar lies flat and moves with the officer, holding its shape through the full ceremonial session.

Product Features

Black Moire Ribbon Body — 11 cm Width

The woven wave pattern in moire ribbon creates a light-shifting optical texture that flat fabric cannot replicate, giving the collar visual depth suited to formal Scottish Rite ceremony.

Precision White Border Trim

Straight white borders run the full length of both outer edges, their clean contrast against the black ribbon defining the collar’s V-shape clearly from across the Lodge room.

Red Reverse Backing

The red back panel provides the traditional Scottish Rite colour contrast visible at the open neckline, consistent with correct officer wear for this degree.

Gold Sunburst with 32nd Degree Numeral

The central sunburst insignia with radiating rays and white 32 numeral identifies the degree immediately — flanked by two gold crossed swords for full rank identification.

Swivel Hook for Jewel Attachment

The gold swivel hook mounted at the neckline join allows a degree jewel to hang in the correct ceremonial position, turning naturally during Lodge movement without distortion.
