it is called byu munyU. In both, a triangular piece projects over 
the shoulder. The baju baskdt has a wide additional piece 
of cloth on each side \ one of these lappets is fastened by a row 
of strings within the other below the arm pit on the right side, 
and the other fastened in a similar manner over the preced¬ 
ing on the left side below the arm pit. It has a collar about 
two fingers breadth broad. This baju is much worn by the 
Malays of Malacca, who appear to have adopted it from the 
Tilings, as in other Malay countries it is not generally used. 
It is sometimes made without sleeves, when it is called 
baskdt ta bUangdn . The baju sadaria is a loose jacket’with 
a small collar, a row of numerous small buttons or knots of 
thread, wide sleeves with cuffs reaching to the knuckles, 
braided at all the edges, and embroidered, sometimes with silk 
or gold thread, on the breast and cuffs. This baju is also 
sometimes made sleeveless. The baju pindip n or bfirsinjab 
is the name given to any of the open bajus when the borders 
are lined with silk. 
The baju sadaria has a pocket, which the other bajus pro¬ 
perly want, but the Malacca Malays have pockets in all their 
jackets save the kurong. A peculiar kind of pouch or purse, 
simbllet, about a foot long and two inches broad with a slit 
in the middle, is much used, chiefly for conveying money and 
gold, by the Malays of Muar and Padang and by the Suma¬ 
tran people in the Peninsula, but occasionally also by other 
Malays. It has a loop at one end, and a string ending in a 
button at the other, by which it is fastened round the waist. 
The sluar, sarong and baju are the essemtial parts of the 
Malayan costume and common to all. When the sluar is 
worn, the sarong is generally shortened, so as to expose the 
ends of the sluar. At other times one side is tucked up 
and throw'll over the right or left shoulder, leaving the other 
hanging on the opposite side to the knee.* or it is folded on 
the breast and left banging down the back, in the fashion of a 
phid oi shawl.f Panghulus and other men of some station, 
assert their claims to respect by wearing it in a peculiar 
manner, that is gathered in folds at each side which are 
made to project, kain kawibang^ when at one side only,

fashion, the folds are made to stand out still more and in
