From the desk of the Supreme Master: Update on Fourth Degree Uniform Cost
Worthy Sir Knights & Brothers,
In 2019, the Order entered an agreement with The Supply Room (TSR) in Oxford, Alabama, to serve as the sole manufacturer of the official Fourth Degree uniform. Per the current licensing agreement and the requirements of the Supreme Board of Directors, the manufacturing, production, and sale of the uniform is required to undergo a request for proposal (RFP) every five years.
After reviewing RFPs from TSR and another manufacturer, the Order chose to remain with TSR for an additional three years. Under the new agreement, the cost of the uniform will increase from $449 to $475. This new cost will take effect September 1, 2024. The new price is less than the price quoted in the other RFP that the Order received and is below the inflation rate from 2019 to 2024.
Please note that the current TSR pricing is still available through August 31, 2024. Uniforms can be purchased online by visiting kofcuniform.com. I encourage you to avail yourself of that opportunity, especially ahead of the 125th Anniversary of the Fourth Degree on February 22, 2025.
Thank you for your continued service to our Order, especially to the Fourth Degree!
Purchase the Uniform
Vivat Jesus!
Michael McCusker
