Our sizing guide is built from real Filipino and Filipino-American measurements. If you’re unsure, we’ll help you get it right.
Can we place a group order?

Caring for your pieces
What’s the difference between piña, jusi, and cocoon silk?
Piña is woven from pineapple leaf fiber — the most traditional and most formal. Jusi is a smoother, more affordable weave often blended with silk. Cocoon silk is a premium weight with an elegant drape, used in our flagship groom barong.
How do I care for a barong?
Dry-clean only for piña and cocoon silk. Jusi can be hand-washed cold, hung to dry. Never machine wash. Iron on low with a cloth barrier.
Do I wear a white shirt underneath?
Yes. Traditionally a plain white crew-neck undershirt, tucked in. Barongs are sheer by design and meant to be layered.
