My last entry:

It wasn't me to start this 'ping pong', at all costs trying to prove the ALLEGED fault of a competitor, rather than proving the ALLEGED correctness of their own solution.

If the word is nowhere to be found in English dictionaries, the word does not convey a meaning to an English-speaking reader, and a special explanation is required.
All the websites you've quoted so far are run by amateurs who don't necessarily care for historic authenticity and scholarly correctness. I suppose they are taking their cue from that single wikipedia article.
There's little point continuing the present ping-pong.

'...Like any other great noble the Grand Master had a number of officers such as a Senechal and Marshal, and unlike other great nobles also had a senior officer called a "Draper" because the standardisation of Templar outfits - effectively uniforms - were of such importance....'

'Draper
The Draper was in charge of the Templar garments and linens. The Templar Rule states that after the Master and Marshal, the Draper was superior to all brethren.The Templar Rule said of the Draper’s responsibilities regarding the robe of the order, “and the Draper or the one who is in his place should studiously reflect and take care to have the reward of God in all the above-mentioned things, so that the eyes of the envious and evil-tongued cannot observe that the robes are too long or too short; but he should distribute them so that they fit those who must wear them, according to the size of each one". The Draper had in his personal retinue two squires, a number of tailors and one brother in charge of the pack animals who would carry supplies. The Draper, like the Marshal, had four horses at his disposal.'

Likewise in the Teutonic Order, presumably.

From https://www.realmofhistory.com/about-us/:

Starting out in late 2015, Realm of History was founded by me – Dattatreya Mandal, ex-editor and writer for various online architectural and technology digests. With my degree in Architecture (Bachelor of Architecture), my fascination however always gravitated towards the subject of History of Architecture. Over time, the strong interest evolved into a genuine appreciation for the subject of History as a whole.

Enough said about the qualifications of the author as a historian.

So, draper is a person making, selling, handling (woolen) cloth. This is OED, not Wikipedia.

'Draper' is archaic in this sense but even more so is 'szatny' (never used in present-day Polish).

That was a single quote in a my google search. Yet Grand Quartermaster is quite established in English usage as the name of the corresponding office.

Britannica:
https://dokumen.pub/encyclopaedia-britannica-23-14nbsped.htm...

Marquis Sacchetti is always Grand Quartermaster, or superintendent of the technical services of the Vatican…

An article on geraldic matters:

Grand Quartermaster: A mace and battle-axe in saltire.

This isn't entirely about Glykeria "the Affectionate" a Byzantine princess who would later become Grand Quartermaster of Pisa and one of the most powerful figures in the Empire.

I suppose the goal here to make the title understood by an English reader, not a German one.

'... To that end, the upper-most administrative strata comprised the Hochmeister (literally ‘high master’) who were the Grand Masters of the Teutonic Knights, accompanied by representatives of the Ballei
(administrative provinces) and five other senior officers whose titles ranged from Treasurer, Supreme Marshall to even Supreme Draper....'

'draper' as cognate to the German 'Trappier'
