JAKARTA - Jasa permak or reshuffle clothes under the Jatinegara Station bridge, East Jakarta, began to be visited by customers ahead of D-14 Eid Al-Fitr 2024.

Although not yet crowded, many residents have reshuffled their clothes for the upcoming Eid celebration.

From Tuesday, March 26, morning to evening several residents from various regions came to this area to cut and sew their clothes before Eid.

The reason residents come to the roadside tailor is because the cost of sewing services is very cheap, compared to the shop tailor.

"This is an alternative. Apart from cheap costs, the work is also fast. It's pretty good to save time and costs," said Winda, a resident of Pisangan Baru, Tuesday, March 26.

Winda was deliberately early to sew her clothes. The reason is, this is done to avoid crowds of residents when approaching Eid al-Fitr.

"Deliberately from now on (disbursing clothes) because so as not to queue. Because it has been 2 weeks entering Ramadan," he said.

Meanwhile, Abdulah (65), one of the clothing tailors admitted that this week many residents had visited the sewing stall. Although there is no crowd yet, Abdulah admits that the turnover is good.

"On average, you get IDR 200 thousand per day. It's open from morning to evening. Most of them ask for pants cut services, sew Muslim clothing and repair their clothes according to the size that has been adjusted," he said.
