Do you publicize that you are mason or even show the slightly hint to the outside world? I am surprised at some of the new pieces popping up that are local for me, one high school has ban anything "non-christian" related for school attire. So something like this would not work in school (even high school).

I have two shirts. I cannot remember where I got them. I also have a pair of boxers.

One of the shirts is like this.
Ash Grey T-Shirt - CafePress

The other has the S&C and says something like I tried to take over the world and all I got was this shirt.

I have my mom doing some embroidery and some colored, button up shirt. It will have my name on the right breast above the pocket. On the other side I will have a S&C on one, a Shriners symbol an other, and the last one I'm not sure. Those will be for Lodge functions and other similar type of gatherings.

I have two polo shirts with the S & C on the left hand side . My favorite ball cap has a S & C on it also and I wear that everywhere when dressed down . And I most always wear my ring and my necklace with the Cross and Crown of a Knight Templar so , yes , I am very public with my membership in the Fraternity .

I have been looking for others lately but some of the custom shirt places I find online either do not do what I want done or they charge too much. I might need to go the local route for this but I was wondering if others have this same issue or not.

I cheat on the embroidery side with using my mother. Shirts and stuff were bought online. I did buy my daughter a S&C shirt that says My Daddy is a Freemason on it from Amazon.com. I did a custom made order on Vista Print that said I (heart) my Shriner and and the Shriner carrying the child on it.

I know there is a ton of stuff at cafepress, but it is rather costly, and the quality is not there for me.

Default Decorum in the Sanctum Sanctorum

Fraternal Greetings All,
I think that the choice to wear prominent masonic clothing or jewellery is up to the individual. However, I have noticed that much of it being sold on the web is not particularly in good taste. I believe that we should not hide our affiliations but at the same time, we should not overtly flaunt them either. By doing so, you open yourself up to attack and get accused of being secretive and elitist. We conduct our work with humility. We give to charity quietly. Just my humble opinion.

Very true , if one is going to wear the Masonic regalia then be prepared to have accusations directed toward you . And I also agree that it should be worn in good taste . And above all else conduct yourself as an upstanding representative of Freemasonry , but we all should do that whether we are wearing regalia or not .

Thumbs up Tasteful and discreet

Actually, I am in the process of designing some silk ties and bowties at the moment with somewhat cryptic designs that can be worn in the business world with tasteful graphics whose meaning would only be known by fellow Freemasons. Simple patterns of forget-me-not flowers is one design I like but I also want to incorporate some other symbols or patterns that do not scream "I AM A MASON". If any of you have some ideas perhaps we can turn it into a competition and the winner will get a free tie !!

I display a pin that my Lodge gave me upon initiation. While I get the occasional odd look, I also had a wonderful chat with a very old man who was a Mason looong before I came into this world as a result. I actually think it gave him comfort to see a younger man as a Mason.

I wear a S&C lapel pin when I am in a suit. My father bought me a nice tie with quite a few large squares and compasses on it when I was raised, but I haven't worn it yet.
