Another suggestion would be to have your Barong custom made in the NCR.

I bought the pina cloth and had a local taylor custom make the barong for 600 PHP. The total cost was less than half the price of mybarong.com.

both good ideas...but i actually need to buy 5. 1 for me & 4 for the groomsmen.....(sorry guys she wants a garden wedding in august in oklahoma) :blink: (a barong sounds a lot cooler than a tux) i think i'm going w/ the link roserick posted coz they're based out of florida-no customs!

I got married in the Philippines but we ordered five barongs from barongsrus.com before heading over there.

I was very satisfied with the barongs. They have instructions on how to measure you for a barong.

I have a suggestion too, if she is still here in PI, she can buy one in Divisoria. there are variety of barongs there. My husband gonna get one there. They have Big Sizes available there... ^_^

hope that helps!

barongs are everywhere in the Philippines. Tell or ask your fiancee to look for a store/s nearby or in the city where she's at. You can also go with her for a try.
