Sampin

A sampin is a traditional Malay garment, often worn by men as part of their
formal attire. It is a short sarong-like cloth, usually made of songket,
tenun, or cotton, and is wrapped around the waist over a baju melayu
(traditional Malay shirt and trousers).

Key Features of a Sampin:

Material: Commonly woven with silk or cotton, sometimes featuring metallic
threads for luxury versions.

Length: Shorter than a sarong—typically reaching between the knee and calf.

Designs: Features intricate motifs such as floral, geometric, or
traditional Malay patterns.

Colors: Chosen to complement or contrast with the baju melayu, often in
vibrant or ceremonial tones.

Occasions: Worn during weddings, religious festivals like Hari Raya,
official ceremonies, and by royalty or dignitaries.

Styles of Wearing:

Samping Ikat Lilit: Wrapped tightly around the waist.

Samping Ikat Dagang Luar: Worn outside the shirt for a formal look.

Samping Ikat Dagang Dalam: Worn tucked inside the shirt, common in Johor
style.

It plays both a decorative and symbolic role, representing tradition,
status, and elegance in Malay culture.

(like Johor, Kedah, or Minangkabau styles)?
