Our Barong size charts are garment measurements only. We recommend carefully measuring yourself with a tape measure, using your thumb to create a small gap between the measuring tape and your body. Then choose your size based on your measurements compared against the garment measurements. You can also use your favourite button-up shirt to compare measurements for selecting your size. 

We recommend having at least 1-3 inches (2.5-7.5 cm) allowance when selecting your size. If you’re unsure, we recommend going a size or two up for a looser fit or for tailoring.

Please note that the Barong design is a straight-cut button-up shirt, with the chest measurements being the same as the waist measurements.

Measurements above size Children's Size 16 are adult sizes starting at adult size XS (see our Barong Tagalog range for adult sizes and measurements).
