Masonic Regalia UK Garter Shoulder Sash

In the United States, Masonic sashes (often referred to as Baldricks) are primarily worn within the York Rite, specifically the Knights Templar and Scottish Rite.

Exquisite Masonic Regalia: Premium Shoulder Sash (USA Commandery Style)

Elevate your fraternal attire with this masterfully crafted Masonic Shoulder Sash, designed specifically for the discerning Sir Knight. Often referred to as a Baldrick, this piece is a central component of the Knights Templar (York Rite) uniform in the United States, representing a commitment to the values of chivalry and tradition.

Superior Craftsmanship & Materials

Each sash is constructed from heavy-duty moiré silk ribbon, known for its distinctive “watered” appearance that catches the light with professional elegance. The interior is reinforced with a high-quality stiffening interlining, ensuring the sash maintains a crisp, flat profile across the chest throughout long ceremonies and parades.

Key Specifications

  • Dimensions: Approximately 4 inches (100mm) wide, tailored to a standard length that sits comfortably from the shoulder to the hip.

  • Color Palette: Available in  Classic Commandery Black (Standard) or Pristine White (Past Commander/Grand Rank), providing a striking contrast against the uniform.

  • Bullion Embroidery: Features a prominent Red Passion Cross centered on the chest. The embroidery is executed using genuine gold or silver bullion wire, creating a 3D texture and brilliant luster that synthetic threads cannot replicate.

  • The Fringe: The sash is elegantly finished with 2-inch hand-twisted bullion wire fringe, adding weight and a traditional “swing” to the garment.

Functional Design for the Modern Knight

  • The “Frog” Attachment: The hip intersection is equipped with a heavy-duty metal hook or leather-reinforced frog, designed to securely hold a sword or ceremonial dagger.

  • Protective Lining: The underside is finished with a smooth satin backing to prevent snagging on your coat or shirt.
