From its early origins Baju Melayu is 100% hand sewn by
tailors but as time passes by, with the invention of the sewing machine, most
of the Baju Melayu tailors switch to the used of sewing machines for the ease
of labor work and to increase productivity of their works of art. But some
still claims that the best quality of Baju Melayu is the ones which were hand
sewn. It is labor- intensive and took a long time to sew the in-seams by hand
especially the Teluk Belanga, as the most difficult part to make a baju melayu
is to master the Jahitan tulang belut for the neckline.
