Masonic Tartan

D'oh... let me clarify what I meant by that one. It's not about an "authentic kiltmaker" so much as an "authentic kilt".

What that meant was... are there kilts that would be considered inappropriate? The Masons would know the intricacies of an authentic Masons kilt, whereas someone that makes casual kilts may not. I doubt that a SportKilt in the Masons Tartan would be received very well.;)

Jimmy,

There is no special or "authentic" Masonic kilt. I know of no Masonic ceremony where a kilt is worn. Most Masons wouldn't know a good kilt from a bad kilt.

When attending lodge, Masons wear whatever clothing they think is appropriate. Some Masons choose to wear highland clothing.

The Masonic Grand Lodge of Scotland tartan and the Freemason's Universal tartan are intended to be worn by any Mason. I know nothing about the Grand Lodge of Canada tartan.

Away from this thread, I have been given information that tells me that there are Masonic Kilts and tartan specifics with some of the regalia. It's NOT a normal situation with the tartans, or the construction. THAT'S what I was looking for. Being of its origin, I would think that it is important... so that's why I was asking the Masonic Members.

Unfortunately, the specifics were given to me "in confidence" as a kilt maker and the grandson of a Grand Master in Ontario. I'm not at liberty to re-post the specifics, but Todd may be able to "enlighten" some to the local specifics if you're so inclined to ask.

I wish we still had the Galleries so that I could post the picture of my Grandfather in his "stuff". GOOD NIGHT it was ornate!!!
