I'm interested in getting some opinions/preferences from everyone regarding your aprons.
I was recently raised and I'm now planning on purchasing a nice, quality apron that I can proudly wear for the foreseeable future. The problem is that I'm having a really tough time deciding between a solid white apron and one that has some artwork to it.
On one hand I think back to my EA ritual and lean towards the solid white one for its purity and simplicity. On the other hand, I look at the artwork and think about how I enjoy all of the symbolism within our craft and like the idea of having the artwork there as a constant reminder to myself. (I should probably affirm that artwork I'm referring to is all Master Mason appropriate. Nothing that would be officer-specific or intended for a Past Master.)
So I realize, of course, that in the end this is a decision only I can make and there's no right or wrong answer; however, I would love to hear what others have chosen in the past and why. Perhaps someone's rationale here can sway me one way or another.
Thanks for any input!
