Organza, jusilyn or silk?
Organza is crisp, light and see-through, the classic barong look. It breathes well at summer weddings.
Premium jusilyn has a softer drape with the look of traditional jusi. Choose fully opaque if you'd rather skip the undershirt question entirely.
Cocoon silk is our most luxe fabric, with a soft sheen that photographs beautifully. Made for the groom.
Wear it untucked, over dark tailored trousers and polished dress shoes. Under a sheer barong, go for a plain crew-neck undershirt in white or a shade close to your skin tone. It keeps the embroidery the star and the look clean in photos. A Simple Guide on How to Wear the Barong Tagalog

More than a shirt
The barong has come a long way. In the popular telling, colonial rules once made it a marker of who was "native." Filipinos took it back, and it became the country's national attire. So yes, you'll look amazing. You'll also be wearing a piece of history, kababayan. The Origins of the Barong Tagalog
Frequently asked questions
What do men wear under a barong?
A plain crew-neck undershirt, in white or a shade close to your skin tone, so it disappears under sheer organza. Pair the barong with dark trousers and dress shoes, worn untucked. If you'd rather skip the undershirt, choose a fully opaque barong like the Emilio.
Should a barong be tucked in?
No. A barong is worn untucked. That's how it's designed and how it's traditionally worn.
How much does a barong tagalog cost?
Ours start at about US$95. Most sit between US$98 and US$120, and the Valentin cocoon-silk wedding barong is about US$180. You'll see prices in your local currency on each product.
Why are some barongs so expensive?
Traditional piña barongs are woven by hand from pineapple-leaf fibre and hand-embroidered, which can take weeks. Ours use organza, jusilyn and cocoon silk, so you get the classic look at a price you can wear to more than one wedding.
What does the barong tagalog represent?
It's the national attire of the Philippines. The barong went from a colonial-era marker of the "native" to a symbol of Filipino pride. Today it's worn at weddings, formal events and celebrations around the world.
What's the difference between organza and jusilyn barongs?
Organza is crisp and sheer, the classic see-through barong. Jusilyn has a softer drape and the look of traditional jusi fabric, and it comes in semi-sheer or fully opaque.
How do I care for my barong?
Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent, and don't wring it. Hang or lay flat to dry, out of direct sunlight. Steam out wrinkles, or iron on a suitable setting with a cloth between the iron and the barong. Care instructions
