Tenggarung cloth is a type of traditional Malay woven textile woven by Malay weavers. Around the 19th century AD, Tenggarung cloth was worn by the Royal family and Malay nobility during official government and state ceremonies. This Tenggarung fabric is used as the Malay Royal clothing, especially in the states of Pahang, Terengganu, and Kedah. It is used especially by Malay Royal relatives who have a title. Now Tenggarung cloth has become less and less known and even less produced by Malay textile weavers due to the lack of demand from the local market in addition to the dumping of textiles from outside such as brocade cloth from India and Pakistan. This research is to study Tenggarung cloth as Malay Royal clothing from a Malay socio-cultural point of view. This research uses qualitative methods in the process of collecting research data through two methods, namely primary and secondary. Analytical research is conducted through observation on the visual collection of Tenggarung cloth as well as its historical records. Meanwhile, the purpose of this study is also to provide more information to the community about Tenggarung cloth as a traditional Malay textile from the aspects of culture, history, heritage and the value of the beauty of the Royal Malay clothing.
Abstrak
Kain Tenggarung merupakan sejenis tekstil tenunan tradisi Melayu yang ditenun oleh para penenun Melayu. Sekitar abad ke-19 Masihi kain Tenggarung telah dipakai oleh golongan kerabat Diraja dan bangsawan Melayu ketika upacara rasmi kerajaan dan negeri. Kain Tenggarung ini dijadikan pakaian Diraja Melayu terutamanya di negeri Pahang, Terengganu, dan Kedah. Ianya di pakai khasnya oleh kerabat Diraja Melayu yang mempunyai gelaran. Kini kain Tenggarung telah menjadi semakin kurang dikenali malah kurang di hasilkan oleh para penenun tekstil Melayu disebabkan oleh kurangnya permintaan oleh pasaran tempatan selain lambakan tekstil dari luar seperti kain broket India dan Pakistan. Penyelidikan ini adalah untuk mengkaji kain Tenggarung sebagai pakaian Diraja Melayu dari sudut sosio budaya Melayu. Penyelidikan ini menggunakan kaedah kualitatif dalam proses pengumpulan data kajian melalui dua kaedah iaitu primer dan sekunder. Kajian analisis dijalankan melalui observasi pada koleksi visual kain Tenggarung serta rekod sejarahnya. Dalam pada itu tujuan kajian ini juga memberikan lebih informasi kepada masyarakat mengenai kain Tenggarung sebagai tekstil tradisi Melayu dari aspek kebudayaan, sejarah, warisan dan nilai keindahan pakaian Diraja Melayu.
