I have found the Jacket for 130 which would need a sword slit modification. I have yet to view other prices of individual items, as I am having a hard time finding uniforms in GENERAL! IS there any websites or fellow brothers you can vouch for that have quality for a brotherly price?<br /><br />I see some of you talking about purchasing it all together as one unit for cheaper than individual, I have not seen any of these offers? Please send me your suggestions!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13664545946119388927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214341243689226818.post-44514859796807205382014-09-28T17:03:05.964-06:002014-09-28T17:03:05.964-06:00My name is William Perkins and I am a PEC of Belvi...My name is William Perkins and I am a PEC of Belvidere Commandery #2 in Alton IL. We are traditional and while I prefer same we need change due to costs. Cap and mantle is not the answer. I have seen a number of these and many look as if the man ran through the lingerie section of the store. I am working on a proposal that I hope to bring before the Grand Encampment. Initial cost would range between $286 and $341 not including sword.William Perkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12003699612288261007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214341243689226818.post-12254582739274888462013-10-23T10:07:08.663-06:002013-10-23T10:07:08.663-06:00Susan,

If you don't know, go to this site: www.yorkrite.org and go to the website for State your father lived in and find the contact information for the Grand Recorder/Secretary who will be able to assist in you in finding the dates.

My father was a member of the Knights Templar Commandry Yorkrite Body, my mother Eastern Star, and my sister and I were Rainbow Girls and both later members of Eastern Star, so I feel dumb asking this question, ( you would THINK I would KNOW the answer),...but, I have alot of memorabilia of my father's and some of his friends' that they gave him. I was trying to make a "display" wall box, and CANNOT find any dates as to when these were worn. I have 6 short sword? chains, and 4 long that are silver Malta cross links. Can ANYONE give me a little info on these, please, so I can label them correctly?? I have tried to research them and have yet to find chains like these. They are NOT barrel links, but Malta crosses. ANY info would be GREATY appreciated!!

The entire Commandery must wear the same uniform. <br /><br />There is also the "summer" or "parade" uniform made popular by Milford (CT) Commandery. There are a couple of Commanderies in FL that use this as their standard uniform (they updated their bylaws before Grand Encampment dropped it as an "official uniform," and are grandfather'd in.) http://www.flickr.com/photos/34222129@N05/6450034345/in/photostreamRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03569068021718183852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214341243689226818.post-60893039879642222862012-01-20T07:51:32.412-07:002012-01-20T07:51:32.412-07:00I have often thought that it would be kind of nice...I have often thought that it would be kind of nice to allow one alternative uniform for a commandery to choose from.
