Inner Order Knight Soft Cap - SO

Hand-embroidered - High-quality finishes

The wearing of hats by masters during work goes back to the 18th century, when they were combined with swords. The wearing of these two distinguishing marks of nobility partly explains the enthusiasm of the bourgeoisie to be accepted as Masons at the time. The type of hat was not described in the old rituals, as it was a common headgear in secular life. Only certain Higher Degrees prescribed specific ritual headgear.

Such is the case with this white cap, intended for Knights of the Inner Order of the Strict Templar Observance.
