We recently @ Ft Worth 148 decided to wear white gloves in our degree work after learning the sybolism behind them, not even thinking about checking with GL but we should have b/c they frowned on the wearing of white gloves in the EA degree specfically, they did not comment on the other 2 degress but I know the answer. GL would I guess have to allow the 12 fellowcrafts to wear them in the MM degree but other than that it is not permitted. We are now thinking of submiting this to GL as an option to wear white gloves if a lodge so choses in their degree work. I know this will be alot of work for such a little issue but I thought I would see how Mason of Texas liked or disliked the idea. GL did give us the thumbs up for dressing all black in unison with one another for our degree work.
here is a link for Albert Mackey's take on the gloves it is really a good read, just scroll down the link about 1/4 of the way for symbolism of the gloves.
