The Smart Tips to Get the Best Batik to Buy and Wear

With so many choices from materials to batik motifs, so it demands us to have smart tips on choosing good and quality batik. Quality batik is not about batik at expensive prices. Here are tips for choosing a quality batik cloth, namely:

Choose fine and strong character fabric

If you choose batik clothing from the type of cotton fabric, choose a soft cotton fabric (if touched the surface feels smooth) and comfortable when worn (not itchy and hot). If you like materials that are limp and fall, choose the type of Paris fabric that has a smooth, soft texture and feels cold when used. Or if you like fibrous but smooth material, then choose batik clothes made from dobby fabric.

Feel the color prints

If you want to know whether the batik cloth you choose will not fade. It is recommended that you feel the color of the paint on the batik cloth. Make sure the colors do not stick to your hands.

If the color of batik cloth you choose sticks to your hand, it indicates that the batik cloth has a very beautiful quality. It is seen by the color of cloth paint that sticks and will easily wear off. 

The colors and motifs of batik

Choose the colors and motifs of batik clothes that you like. The quality of the colors and motifs of batik clothing can indeed be seen after several washes. In the first washing up to three batik clothes usually, look like faded. This is because the process of releasing residue as a result of natural materials is poured into the fabric. But, in quality batik clothing, the release of the residue will not affect (eliminate) the color and motif. 

Flip the fabric

Before you buy batik cloth, it is recommended to flip the fabric. This is so that you know the quality of batik that you will buy. Usually, batik that has good quality is batik that has an outer mold and the inside has the same color prints. If the batik cloth has the same color and style prints on the inside and outside, it means that the batik has good quality. If the prints and patterns are the same, this shows that the batik cloth has gone through a detailed process. Usually, this type of batik cloth is more durable to use and does not fade easily than batik cloth that has a color print that is not the same on the outside and inside.

The comfort of batik clothing

Batik clothes made of thick fabric are not necessarily of better quality. Because of that, choose batik clothes that besides the cool models, beautiful colors and motifs, also feel comfortable when worn. Quality batik clothes will feel comfortable if we wear. Our feelings become confident and feel suitable when wearing them.

Those are the ways to select the best batik to buy and wear.
