Regulation 94 outlines the specific guidelines for the wearing of rank collars and chains by various Masonic officers within the Royal Arch. It specifies that Deputy or Assistant Metropolitan Grand Superintendents and Deputy Grand Superintendents are authorized to wear a gold or gilt chain while in the Grand Chapter or during official functions within their respective Metropolitan, Provincial, or District Grand Chapters. Similarly, Metropolitan Grand Inspectors are permitted to wear a designated chain during official events. Second and Third Metropolitan, Provincial, or District Grand Principals also have the privilege of wearing a specific chain in similar contexts. In instances where chains are not worn, all Metropolitan, Provincial, and District Grand Officers, both present and past, as well as holders of certain ranks, must wear the appropriate jewel suspended from a dark blue, crimson, and light blue collar. Additionally, Grand Officers performing official duties may combine their Grand Officer apron with the appropriate chain or collar of their respective rank.
