More general clothes...stuff...

More ways of how to say you want to bargain...
Boleh ditawar? (Can be bargained?)
Boleh kurang? (Can it be less?)
Ada diskon? (Is there a discount?)
Or... if the sales person doesnt want to bargain. Harga pas. (Fixed price)

How to say a clothing is made from a certain fabric
Pattern: Piece of clothing + ini (this) + terbuat dari (made from) + fabric
Hence:
This jacket is made from leather would be: Jas ini terbuat dari kulit (jas being jacket, kulit meaning leather).

This pattern obviously changes if I'm talking about someone's clothing.... like maybe yours!
Your shirt is made from cotton would be: Kemeja anda terbuat dari katun

Some more adjectives for clothing: Opposites
Longgar (loose) x Sempit (tight)

Keren (trendy - for car, clothes, etc) x Kuno (ancient, old fasioned)

Panjang (long) x Pendek (short)

Baru (new) x Lama (old object)

Bagus (good) and indah (beautiful) - both are for inanimate objects. An inanimate ugly object would be "jelek".

Pretty (woman) - cantik x buruk (Ugly {person})
