I wouldn't wear mine because I personally find those JP Luther , buy in bulk leather aprons cheap looking . It's all up to the individual , I have been thinking about it lately and told my wife I want to be buried with my linen apron anyways . It is a better looking apron and means much more to me than the leather one . It was given to me by my Mentor the day I was to be Raised so I could be wearing it when I was taught to wear my apron as a MM , it's the only "white" Apron I have ever worn to every meeting I have ever attended , other than my officer's apron . And it is snow white and not the ever so slightly off white of the leather apron .
Most all our Brothers are buried with theirs , if we present the family with their family members apron it would be placed back in the tube for presentation . In the past few years , the only Brother not to be buried with his is my Father-in-law's , which is now framed and hangs in my library . I hung it in there so it would not yellow because I allow no sunlight in that room so as not to ruin my books .
