KNIGHTS TEMPLAR (KT) REGALIA

Knights Templar (KT) Regalia refers to the distinctive ceremonial dress,
symbols, and accessories worn by members of the Knights Templar Order
within Freemasonry. These regalia are rich in Christian symbolism and
chivalric tradition, reflecting the medieval heritage of the Templars while
serving ceremonial and ritual purposes in modern Masonic practice.

Here’s an overview:

Main Components of Knights Templar Regalia

Mantle (Cloak):

A white flowing mantle or cloak, symbolic of purity.

Adorned with a red passion cross on the left breast.

Tunic and Belt:

A black tunic with a white mantle, often with a black belt or girdle.

Sometimes a red sash or baldric is worn across the chest.

Headwear:

Traditionally a black velvet cap or a plumed hat.

Some jurisdictions use a chapeau (a black military-style hat) decorated
with plumes and insignia.

Apron:

A white Masonic apron bordered in black with a red passion cross.

Distinctive from Craft and Chapter aprons.

Sword:

A ceremonial sword is one of the most important pieces of KT regalia,
symbolizing chivalry, defense of the faith, and service.

Often paired with a sword belt or scabbard.

Gloves:

White gloves representing purity of conduct and sincerity of purpose.

Jewels & Badges:

Emblems such as the passion cross, Maltese cross, and other insignia
specific to rank or office.

Officers wear collars with jewels denoting their station (e.g., Commander,
Preceptor, etc.).
