Hats or caps made of batik patterned and solid indigo cloth were an important article of men's apparel. The hats are often made of an iket kepala, or headcloth, pleated up and stitched into shape on a base of the indigo dyed cloth. The batik patterned textiles in both of these hats display traditional Central Javanese motifs and colors.
