What do the different colors of capes and feathers mean?
The basic uniform of the Fourth Degree is a black tuxedo, cummerbund and bow tie, a white shirt, black shoes and socks, and the social baldric. The member may wear the Fourth Degree lapel pin, a current jewel of office and any approved miniature jewel denoting a past or former office that the member has held. A color corpsman wears the service baldric in lieu of the social baldric and a sword which is attached to the service baldric. He also wears a black cape lined red and a chapeau (a naval style hat) with a white ostrich feather.
