Employees of the provincial government already wear clothes made from endek on Thursdays and Fridays, while members of the legislative council have to change the regulations before they can define what clothes they wear. The planned regulation is also intended to protect the local culture. Endek is a woven cloth specific to Bali and is not made in other areas, as opposed to batik which is made from material onto which a drawing is made and witch is made in different country's in Asia.
The popularizing the use of endek demonstrated the government’s attention to local products. Some members of Bali’s legislative council have already been seen wearing endek during a discussion related to art appreciation.
And because we always get many invitations for Balinese ceremony's I decided to make an Endek shirt too, cost, 2 meter cloth 120.000rp and for the tailor 50.000rp.
