Lurik is made from vertical stripes whose widths are counted out one by one as the warp is dressed. Nothing is printed — the entire pattern comes from the order of the coloured threads. A 210 gsm cotton at 90 cm wide, which is the characteristic width of a non-mechanical loom.

Lurik was once everyday working cloth in Central Java, worn precisely because it was plain and hard-wearing. Each stripe arrangement carries a name taken from ordinary things, such as telu-pat for a sequence of three and four.
