Tengkolok

The terms tengkolok, Tanjak, and setanjak are synonyms; the word "tengkolok" also refers to "headgear or headcover worn by women",{{Cite web|title=Carian Umum|url=https://prpm.dbp.gov.my/cari1?keyword=tengkolok|access-date=2023-01-02|website=prpm.dbp.gov.my}} but the definition of women's headgear is rarely used today.{{Cite web|url= https://pekanbaru.tribunnews.com/2017/02/03/arti-tanjak-bagi-orang-melayu?page=2|title= Arti Tanjak Bagi Orang Melayu}} (Indonesian)

However, some people{{Who|date=December 2016}} say that tengkolok, tanjak, and destar are different in terms of cloth type or tying even though the purpose is the same, which the tengkolok is a headgear made from cloth of good quality and its tying has many layers and tapers to tip; destar has low tying and its tying layers are fewer than tengkolok; tanjak has tying much like tengkolok, the only difference is that its cloth is simple and thin.

Tengkolok is made in various forms, with different types and designs of cloth, depending on the social status of its dress.[http://resam-melayu.com/2009/12/tanjak-warisan-melayu.html Tanjak Warisan Melayu], Resam Melayu. Diambil pada 3 Mac 2011. The general term for different forms of tengkolok is solek. Each solek also has its different special name, for instance: the tengkolok worn by Yang di-Pertuan Agong during the coronation ceremony is known as Solek Dendam Tak Sudah (Persistent Vengeance Style).

Every Malay king has their particular solek. For example, the Sultan of Selangor wears a richly golden yellow Solek Balung Raja (Royal Crest Style) when attending a coronation ceremony or his birthday ceremony.

The traditional attire of the Brunei Malay population, locally known as destar, represents the significance of Malay rulers and nobility throughout history. In addition, it served as a representation of the social structure of the time, separating commoners from dignitaries until the head covering became the Malay custom of dressing.{{Cite web |date=2017-05-13 |title=Penyolek tengkolok warisan » Media Permata Online |url=https://mediapermata.com.bn/penyolek-tengkolok-warisan/ |access-date=2023-12-03 |website=Penyolek tengkolok warisan |language=en-US}} Over two millennia have passed since the discovery of Brunei's destar types, which include Destar Taruna, Helang Benari, Singa Menerpa, Layar Bahtera, Nakhoda Sailar, and Hulubalang Diraja. The destar's production process, it was previously known that a high-quality dastar requires a week to complete, which has a more adaptable notion, is what makes it distinctive.
