It is almost certain that the Masonic apron was developed from the apron worn by operative masons in the middle ages. Few examples show that the operative apron was fashioned from the skin of an animal, more than likely the hide of a lamb. It was large enough to cover the wearer from chest to ankles, and was held in place by a leather strap that encircled the neck. From each side of the apron a leather strap, enabled the mason to tie the apron round his waist. The leather apron served its purpose for several centuries. The woven apron now used by modern masons came into use in the eighteenth century. The Masonic apron was just one symbol of the Mason. another is the Masonic Ring found on the Mason’s hand.
