im looking for baju raya that has hoodie on it!

seriously i saw someone wear it!

anyone knows?

respect to TS
btw, my baju melayu is red in color this year
the color of passion some people say

I haven't even taken my pictures yet. But i got a lot of pictures. Here is the hoddie jubah u were talking about.



There isn't any hoodie baju melayu. Confirmed as i visited almost almost every stall. Already got a nice sampin today. In fact 2!!! I bought the ones on offer from those sampin stalls that sells 2 for RM100. I'm giving the extra one to my friend. I did not buy BAK one as it cost RM250. Yes it is nice, but its just out of allocated budget.

Already got a nice sampin today. In fact 2!!! I bought the ones on offer from those sampin stalls that sells 2 for RM100. I visited almost every sampin stall today. I'm giving the extra sampin to my friend. I did not buy BAK one as it cost RM250 after discount. Yes it is nice, but its just out of allocated budget as stated earlier. And i not know how to judge how good a songket cloth is.

I only learned about tight weave, the amount of gold thread used, complexity of design and strength of the yard used when making the cloth. The last part only known by the maker. Complexity is the duration of the finished product. Thats all i know. Also heard about bunga tabur design, bunga this and that. But i do not know how to differenciate it. All this learned from talking to the sellers and watching some songket makers video.

See la this week can make time for pix or not.

Well yeah if i intend to give to keep it as a heirloom!!!! The ribu ribu one i saw at BAK also. And the priceless one i saw at Textile museum. mostly its owned by Terengganu royalty one. Last time i asked my malay friends why buy so expensive, they say quality. But really la, they keluarga berada can afford pay 4 digits for those. I seriously do not want to use so much money for a sampin. And most of them nowdays grown up also don't really think its necessary to own it. If want to talk about this songket industry, i think can talk until tomorrow also cannot finish. Its almost the same with any textile industry. If you ask me to pay 4 digits to make a songket baju melayu i think i can consider. But then this baju diraja.... can ah go raya?

i think rais yatim is overly creative,,,,,,,,,i prefer a conservative approach-----shirt buttons meant for shirts and BJ buttons for BJ,,,,

remember what i said about how a linen baju m. would make so much more sense?

well, look at wardrobes raya promotion. both are in linen. they understand the logic behind it.
