The Wedding Suite
Groom’s Essentials
The piece you’re in for every photo. The cocoon silk barong is the standard recommendation — heavier weight, quiet luster, anchors the wedding photo when the entourage is in organza or jusilyn.
- Cocoon silk first. The groom’s fabric. Pair with organza for entourage and the visual hierarchy reads correctly.
- Measure twice. Use our Measurement Studio + the rule “if you’re between sizes, size up.”
- 30-day returns. If it doesn’t sit right, we make it right — no risk on the most important shirt of the day.
Common questions
Should the groom wear the same fabric as the entourage?
No — almost never. The groom in cocoon silk and the entourage in organza or jusilyn is the standard Filipino wedding setup. The weight difference reads as visual hierarchy in the photo without anyone needing to point at the groom.
How far in advance should I order?
For a US wedding with a US warehouse turnaround, 6 weeks is comfortable — gives time for fit confirmation, any color or size swap, and a local-tailor alteration if needed. For a large entourage order, plan 8–10 weeks and start with a Wedding Inquiry.
What size should the groom order?
Our sizing leans Filipino — typically one size up from your US shirt size. Use the US Sizing Chart for the conversion. The barong is meant to drape, not fit slim — when in doubt, size up.
