Freemason & Masonic Lodge Hats

Freemasonry once counted more than 4.1 million American members, at its 1959 peak. By 2023 the Conference of Grand Masters in North America reported 869,429, a smaller fraternity that still fills lodge rooms with ritual, minutes and meals. The Junior Warden organises the dinner, which is often a steak dinner, and the outside world keeps imagining something grander. These Freemason and Masonic lodge hats are for the members who know the truth: the goat is a joke, not part of the ritual. Riding the goat traces to fraternal pranks of the 1840s and the 1890s-1900s, when companies like DeMoulin supplied mechanical goats. The set includes the FREEMASON and MASTER MASON badges, the 2B1ASK1 code, the on the level and on the square motto, and so mote it be. The humour leans on the conspiracy reputation: world domination that is only on next month's agenda, a lodge that is secretly running the pancake breakfast, and an Illuminati that would not have you. There is also a Shriner line for the tiny car. Shriners Children's runs 22 hospital locations across three countries, the first opened in 1922, and the tiny cars took off in the 1950s. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Buy one for your own lodge night, or give one to the brother who already keeps the minutes.
