When a new Brother is Initiated into a Craft Lodge, he is invested with an apron during the ceremony. When a new Companion is Exalted into a Chapter, he is invested with a different apron and also has an additional jewel and sash to wear.
The ribbons and the background to the Royal Arch logo on the apron change from white to red then blue as the Companion progresses in the order.
