Master's Hat

Do You Have To Wear A Master's Hat?

Stetson - The Homburg - Classic Fur Felt Dress Hat
by Hartford York

Masonic hats worn by the Master of the Lodge signify his authority of his rank and status...the origins of which go back over many centuries.

The wearing of a hat by the Worshipful Master alludes to the crown that adorned the head of King Solomon.

In the United States, a Stetson Homburg or Fedora style hat is quite popular and is often chosen by the Master of the lodge. Other hat brands and styles are also worn.

Albert Mackey, Masonic researcher and historian had this to say about Masonic hats in his Revised Encyclopaedia of Freemasonry, 1929:

To uncover the head in the presence of their superiors has been, among Christian nations, held as a dutiful obligation.

Kings:

Historically, Kings wore crowns to denote their rank, while the courtiers standing around him removed their hats in deference to his superior status.
