Is there a specific color and styles for the Worshipful Masters hat.

I opened a lodge meeting once wearing a Loyal Order of Water Buffalo hat. Wish I'd gotten a pic of that.

I saw this one in my research but this also looked a little narrower than the photo. It may be that his head it wider. Not sure but i did see in the comments someone mentioned Tennessee so I will be reaching out to a lodge about it.

Some lodges supply hats in their tradition. My mother lodge had a collection of top hats.

Other lodges want you to wear a hat that represents your style. In my Illinois lodge I wore a gray fedora.

Do you want a super cool hat? Get a US revolutionary tricorn. I got one but I haven't been in the east since i bought it. I moved stated and decided against learning the entire ritual here.

It depends on Jurisdictions. I am from Alabama, and we wore top hats. I am living here in Texas and most of them wear Cowboy Hats. For me, I am old school and prefer the hat to be of a leaderships style, i.e. top or fedora type.
