About Jamdani:
Jamdani is a hand loom woven fabric made of cotton, silk or any other yarn. The Jamdani weaving tradition is of undivided Bengali origin. It is one of the most time and labor-intensive forms of hand loom weaving, and the most artistic textile of undivided Bengali weavers. Traditionally woven around Dhaka and it was referred as Dhakai Jamdani. But after partition of Bengal, few weaves moved to western part of Bengal especially in Nadia district of West Bengal state of divided India, because Shantipur was the handwoven textile hub that time which is in Nadia district. Weavers from eastern part of Bengal scattered in Nadia district and continue to weave Jamdani textile. Whether figured, geometric pattern or flowered, jamdani is a woven using supplementary weft technique of weaving, where the artistic motifs are produced by a non-structural weft, in addition to the standard weft that holds the warp threads together. The standard weft creates a fine, sheer fabric while the supplementary weft with thicker threads adds the intricate patterns to it. Each supplementary weft motif is added separately by hand by interlacing the weft threads into the warp with fine bamboo or metal sticks using individual spools of thread. The result is a complex mix of different patterns that appear to float on a shimmering surface. Though mostly used for saris, Jamdani is also used for scarves and handkerchiefs. Jamdani is believed to be a fusion of the ancient cloth-making techniques of Bengal (possibly 2,000 years old). Jamdani is the most expensive product of Bengal looms since it requires the most lengthy and dedicated work. Jamdani patterns are mostly of geometric, plant, and floral designs and are said to have originated thousands of years ago. Due to the exquisite painstaking methodology required, only aristocrats and royal families were able to afford such luxuries.

Ways to recognize the original Jamdani saree:
Before buying a Jamdani saree three things should be considered – the price of the saree, the quality of the thread and the fineness of the work.
Saree Price: A Jamdani saree takes two artisans from a few days to six months to make, depending on the design. So the price of a jamdani can range from 2 thousand Rupees to T1 lakh Rupees or more depending on the time of saree making, quality of thread and fineness of work. But machine woven sarees do not require much time or effort. A few sarees can be made every day. That’s why the price is relatively low.
Fineness of work: Jamdani sarees are hand woven so the design of the saree is very delicate and perfect. The designs are smooth. The craftsman weaves each thread by hand. No part of the thread comes out. Because of this, it is very difficult to distinguish which is the front part and which is the inner part of the Jamdani saree. The machine woven saree is only embroidered with the exact design in imitation of Jamdani. On the reverse side of these sarees, the back threads come out in a cut state. The two sides can be separated easily.
Silk Thread Jamdani and Nylon Thread Jamdani: Another way to identify a Jamdani saree can be to check its thread and smoothness. There are three general types of jamdani in terms of thread usage. Full cotton jamdani- which is made of cotton thread. Half-silk jamdani – where the transverse threads are made of silk and the longitudinal threads are made of cotton. Fullsilk Jamdani – where both ends of thread are made of silk. So it is important to be sure about this thread before buying a saree. To check the quality of thread, the thread that protrudes at the end of the hem of the saree should be carefully looked at. Nylon thread is very soft or smooth, and because jamdani silk thread is starched, it will be relatively uneven. If the threads get tangled after wrapping with your fingers, then it should be understood that it is made of silk thread, and if the threads are even in any condition, then it is nylon. Besides, pure silk thread usually tears when stretched, while nylon thread does not tear even when stretched.
Value of thread: The value of thread is defined by count. Jamdani yarn count is 40/60/80/84/100/120 count. The higher the yarn count, the finer the yarn. And the finer the thread, the finer the work. The quality of Jamdani mainly depends on this fineness of work. And how delicate the saree will be, depends on the skill of this thread and the weaver. Usually, the finer the work on the saree, the higher the price naturally. Again, the finer the thread, the more time it takes for the tatis to weave the saree – so the price also falls. Border: In the Jamdani saree, there is no border woven in the part that is tucked at the waist. But machine woven saree has border all over.
Weight: Handwoven jamdani is light in weight and comfortable to wear. On the other hand, machine woven sarees are made of synthetic yarns, so these sarees are heavy and crisp.
Why buy real Jamdani with the price?
Nylon or machine-woven jamdani tend to shrink after wearing once or twice, meaning they cannot be used for long periods of time. Still no relief. And if the original jamdani is kept properly, it remains good even after 20/30 years, even if it fades or gets a little face, if it is polished, it will remain the same for life. The biggest thing is that the softness and nobility of the original jamdani cannot be found in the machine woven jamdani. When a real Jamdani saree falls on an occasion, it tends to get a bit too much attention.
