On the debate stage, Mahfud MF appeared confidently wearing a mapala shirt, also known as a utility shirt, which is a product from the Bandung brand. They not only showcased this style but also added a touch of the Sat Set writing on the left chest.

Mahfud MF proudly shares the story behind the beskap he is wearing. The main material of this beskap is cotton grown in the Tuban area, East Java. Interestingly, the women farmers involved in the cultivation of this cotton use intercropping methods without chemical fertilizers. This is one aspect of sustainability that they want to highlight, which is the integration of sustainable agriculture and textile production.

"Mahfud also explained the long journey from cotton to fabric that forms the beskap. He revealed that during the production process, craftsmen avoid using synthetic dyes that have a negative impact on the environment. Instead, craftsmen choose to use natural dyes, a step they consider as their responsibility towards the environment."

The involvement of various regions in Indonesia also becomes a unique attraction of this beskap. For example, beskap buttons are produced in Makassar. After that, the cotton fabric produced is sewn by craftswomen in Badung Village, Bali.

More than just clothing, this beskap is a manifestation of their efforts to support the local industry and revive the tradition of handcrafting. Source: Liputan6.com
