The Freemasons are the largest fraternal order in the world. They are also, arguably, the most famous.

On the contrary, any brother will be honored to represent the Order with a subtle decoration or accessory. These are our picks for the best Masonic gifts you can give on any special occasion.

The Masonic master apron is traditional wear that should only be brought out for special occasions at the Lodge.

It makes a great desk decoration when it is affixed to a light bulb stand.
In the continental rites of Masonry, it is customary for a newly-initiated candidate to be presented with a white leather apron and a pair of white gloves.

You can learn more about this tradition from this historical account of masonic gloves.
