In Pahang, the local style kebaya is known as "kebaya Riau Pahang" or sometimes also known as Turkish kebaya. The difference between this style of kebaya and other kebayas is that it has a buttoned "baju kurung" "cekak musang"-like collar. "Kebaya Riau Pahang" is believed to have existed since the era of Johor-Riau-Lingga-Pahang in the 19th century or even earlier, during the time of Malacca Sultanate by researchers. It is not just a dress, it is also a sign of the good relationship between the Pahang and Riau-Lingga in the past. "Kebaya Riau Pahang" is also said to have originated from Turkey shaped-like robe where the dress extends to the level of the ankle and splits in front. It was said that Abu Bakar of Johor and his family often visited Turkey for a long vacation, from there the "kebaya Turki" was inspired.
