Aprons

[RJS]

What do y'all keep your aprons in and where do y'all store them?

 

[TCShelton]

We keep ours in two drawers in our closet, one drawer for officer's aprons, and the other for non-officers. Our jewels are in the drawers above our aprons.

 

[RJS]

I'm sorry I meant the apron you were presented with.

 

[TCShelton]

Ah, ok. I keep mine in the plastic bag it came in in the top of my closet under the bible I was also presented.

 

[Blake Bowden]

I keep mine in a display case along with my coins.

 

[TCShelton]

Hmm, I should get a display case...

 

[RJS]

Where did you get the display case at? I thought about that idea too.

 

[RJS]

I keep mine in a display case along with my coins.

Would you mind posting a picture of that?

Cases can be bought at MIcheals or Hobby Lobby usally sometimes Wal-Mart has them but that is rare, I do know Brother Tom you do not want to keep anything heavy like the Bible on your Apron it will take the impression of the Bible eventualy, I keep mine at the bottom of a drawer with very little clothing on top that rarley gets disturbed, these aprons will also start turning yellow with exsposure to the light so it is a good idea to keep it in a very dark place but I know how hard it is to not want to look at it, I mean its so white and pure. I recently attended Panther City Lodge MM degree and after the apron presentation I kid you not a Brother PM advised the Brother I quote "the apron takes the impression of anything you put on or under it so do not store in the drawer on top of Maude's dildo your apron wil become x-rated" They called him Blackie and he swore someone had done that and another Brother also said the story was true so I had no choice but to believe it. That was one of the best MM i had ever been to good work Panther City.

do not store in the drawer on top of Maude's dildo your apron wil become x-rated

I hate it when my apron gets dildo prints in it. Do you think a case will protect it from that?

I was originally raised in California, and am now affiliated with a lodge in Texas. Out West, your apron is given to you along with a thick cardboard tube big enough to store it in rolled up. I keep it in that.

I was told that if it is in light it will turn yellow. I have actually seen my uncles and it has turned yellow. I have asked this question to some long time Masons and this is the response I have received.

"in the bottom of a drawer with a towel on top then all your socks or something light on it."

This is where I have mine.

I have mine stored in between my mattresses. That way it stays flat and out of the light.

 

[Blake Bowden]

Oh my display case is actually two shelves within a 1800s bookcase from Germany.

 

[Wingnut]

We are given a tube with ours. I keep it in that and re roll it now and then.

 

[RJS]

Does it lay flat after taking it out of the tube?

 

[Joey]

Does it lay flat after taking it out of the tube?

Generally not........ That's why I keep mine in between the mattresses.

 

[RJS]

Generally not........ That's why I keep mine in between the mattresses.

That's what I was worried about. Mines between the mattress until I can find a suitable case or display.

 

[Wingnut]

not if you dont ever take it out... I re-roll mine and wear it now and then.
