With out giving too much away what do you wear for the initiation.
We wear a suit but the initiates remove jacket and tie.
In some Lodges the Initiate actually wear white pyjamas for the ceremony. Do your initiates wear pyjamas in your lodge.

For me , it was a nice new black suit , crisp new shirt , a beautiful Toye , Kenning & Spencer black tie and shiny , shiny shoes.
I felt a proper dandy when I set off for Lodge with my Proposer I can tell you !!
Directly after the Initiation I felt a bit of a scruff bag and retired to the bathroom to sort out my attire with the aid of a mirror.
It was not easy trying to make myself look presentable with the Tyler looking on.
I must say that I have never heard mention of pyjamas.
What is the meaning behind this ?

In the state of michigan, we wear blue trousers and a blue shirt. They are sort of like pajamas.

Hi Chris....
I've seen documentaries on Foxtel about some US prisons, and they wear the same outfit! Could they perhaps be secret Masonic Lodges??
cheers

This was started many year ago from the tradition of older days.
The candidate removed all his clothes and put on a pair of pyjamas. This was to show that he had no weapons about him and also the tyler could see he was a man! Today we are more shy!

Well I wore them, the pajamas on my first degree. They are not like prison uniforms, prison uniforms are jump suits. These pajamas are way different...
