Abstract: Traditional clothing is a dress that exists in every kingdom and era of government. The traditional clothes worn by the community lead to a civilized culture, and every culture have an impact to the community. Culture and custom depict a distinctive symbol of identity for the community that practices it. This study provides exposure to two types of clothing shared by a Minangkabau community in West Sumatra and Negeri Sembilan known as the Perpatih custom. The findings of this study will examine the differences in the uniqueness of complete traditional clothing and the meaning behind each symbol that represents the identity of two communities in different regions, but share one identity. Qualitative methods are used to analyze the uniqueness, differences, and characteristics of the clothes of Bundo Kanduang (Indonesia) and Ibu Soko from Minang (Malaysia). The results of this research lead to a design of traditional clothing style that is slightly different between the two but carries a symbol of the same leadership social identity.
