Regalia Advice

Because of the huge importance that masonic regalia has on the life of a Freemason, the decision on which masonic regalia to buy should be something that has been thought about a few times. Whether you are just about to join the brotherhood, shifting to a different degree, or are coming from another Masonic order, we can help you decide which regalia fits your needs, thus ensuring that you have the most suitable regalia for your degree and order.

"Freemasonry is often referred to as 'The Craft'. In Anglo-Saxon, the term craft is related to skill, power, cunning, and intellect, things that a Freemason are required to have.

If you are still in the process of being considered for the brotherhood, no regalia is required just yet. All you will need is a dark suit, a pair of white gloves, and a black tie. You will only need your own regalia once you have passed the three degrees.
