Note that nothing in the GL of Utah website (
the originator of the tartan) or the entry in the register of tartans says that the Freemason Universal tartan is restricted to Masons only. One could make the argument that it's like wearing a Masonic ring: Master Masons only (wives of Masons get a pass), but nothing anywhere I've read actually says that. Seeing as you are (or claim to be) a Mason, this point is moot for you; I'm simply making it for others who read about this tartan.
I looked into getting the Freemason Tartan back upon my raising, but I just don't care for the color scheme. I think I'll just stick to my ring - unlike some Brothers I know who go with an S&C kilt pin, belt, belt buckle, sgian dubh, tie. I'm almost certain they'd fix their aprons to their aprons if they could figure out how to do it.
