Batik 

Batik  is a cloth that is traditionally made using a manual wax-resist dyeing technique to form intricate patterns.Traditionally batik cloth is a large piece of intricately decorated cloth used by Javanese women as kemben or torso wrap. Traditionally for men, the edge of batik cloth also can be sewn together to make a tubular cloth as sarong, or wrapped around hips as kain in fashion similar to women's.  Batik is recognized as one of the important identity of Indonesian Culture. UNESCO designated Indonesian batik as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage on October 2, 2009. As part of the acknowledgment, UNESCO insisted that Indonesia preserve their heritage. Batik shirts, which are commonly worn by men in Indonesia (especially in Java), are usually worn during formal occasions; such as attending weddings, traditional ceremonies, formal meetings, communal gatherings, etc. Sometimes men who wear batik shirt usually also wearing a songkok or peci cap to make it more formal in a traditional way. Batik shirts have two types of cuts: long sleeves for formal occasions, and short sleeves for casual to semi-formal occasions
