For my raising coming up in a few days, I was told to bring the apron presented to me when I was initiated. I was a bit surprised by that as I have been told I wouldn't be wearing it again until death.
This is great!we have also a custom (not all lodges) that the alpron that we received belonged to a brother who is in the Enternal East and will be given to a new EA that worth it to received that honour,
Lovely apron !View attachment 5840 View attachment 5841 View attachment 5839 Hello brethren,
I've actually worn my presentation apron twice to my grandfathers and my brothers funerals. Also used a couple of times to attend masonic funerals locally until I had my own made.
I wear it regularly at my lodge ,visiting lodges and Grand Lodge. I design the layout my self and both my lodges put on it. All my dates are also under the flap.

We have three different ways an apron can be worn based on the degree that brother has attained.Most US jurisdictions use all white for all three degrees. I'm guessing the box outside your lodge room has all white ones, as well.
In English Constitution lodges there is a difference in the aprons depending on the degree, but that's not something I've seen in the States.
Same here.We have three different ways an apron can be worn based on the degree that brother has attained.
You should see how IOWA teaches there MM to wear their aprons......We have three different ways an apron can be worn based on the degree that brother has attained.

Good question! I would like to know the answer to this myself.Did operative masons in medieval times actually wear aprons? I've been looking at/have seen art that is of that period and most if not all stone masons did not wear an apron.
