ALTERNATIVE WORKING LODGES 6 Lodges granted the right to work a UGLQ approved alternative ritual, when investing the Master and Officers at the Installation, may invest them with the approved collar of that Lodge. 7 The Aprons, Collars and Gauntlets of Scottish or Irish working Lodge officers and brethren may not necessarily be Sky Blue with silver badges. Scottish and Irish working Lodges may have approved aprons that have embroidered, or metal gilt jewels associated with the office. 8 Existing Scottish and Irish working Lodges are deemed to have received approval from the Grand Master for their regalia. 9 Lodges forming with resurrected warrants of Scottish, Irish or English Working Lodges will need to seek approval from the Grand Master for the brethren to wear other than Sky Blue aprons with silver badges of office.

WEARING THE APRON 15 The apron should always be worn so that no part thereof shall be hidden by clothing. 16 This requirement does not apply to those brethren from Lodges working a Scottish or Irish ritual who have, as a matter of custom, worn their apron under their coats. 17 The apron shall be worn with the band at waist level.
8 GAUNTLETS 18 In UGLQ working Lodges, gauntlets of office may be worn by the Master, Immediate Past Master, Wardens, Director of Ceremonies, Deputy Director of Ceremonies and other officer positions where the Lodge has determined them as appropriate to wear.

SUMMER DRESS - AREAS OF HOT CLIMATE 24 White coats/jackets are not required to be worn as part of summer dress where extreme climatic conditions determine. Where coats/jackets are not required to be worn, long sleeved shirts will be mandatory.

9 UNIFORMITY OF DRESS 28 All Officers of a Lodge should always be uniformly dressed. 29 During the Summer period, the Master must decide at each meeting, prior to the opening of the Lodge, whether coats/jackets will be worn by himself and his Officers, so that all Officers will be similarly attired. 30 All members will need to be wearing long sleeved shirts.
