Custom Fit

We’ve made the measurement process simpler for your convenience, eliminating the need for a tailor. You can easily take your measurements at home with the help of a friend or family member. To ensure accuracy, we ask for measurement photos, as individuals may execute instructions differently, even with illustrations.

Measurement Photos: What We Need and How to Take Them

To work around the limitations of photo-based sizing and ensure a great fit, please provide three (3) sets of measurement photos:

1. Body Measurement Photos. Measure following our body measurement instructions. Each photo must clearly show the tape measure with readable end-to-end measurement values.
2. Photos of You Wearing a Dress Shirt (Full Body). Put on a well-fitting dress shirt (untucked, with the collar buttoned), and have your front, rear, and side photos taken.
3. Dress Shirt Measurement Photos. Lay your shirt flat and measure following our dress shirt measurement instructions. Each photo must clearly show the tape measure with readable end-to-end measurement values.

To submit your measurement photos, simply follow the instructions within the order form.

We Carefully Review the Measurements

Our process of getting the final measurements for a tailor-made barong goes beyond simply adding room for ease to the body measurements. We conduct a series of verifications to derive the final measurements. In addition to body measurement photos, we also ask for photos in a dress shirt to analyze how it drapes on the body. The three (3) sets of photos we request allow us to get the correct measurements and create the best possible tailor-made barong for you.

Orders Without Measurement Photos

If you're unable to provide measurement photos, we can still process your order for a Classic Barong. However, please note that our perfect fit guarantee doesn't cover this type of order.

Measurement photos are essential for coat barongs due to their structured design, detailed panel construction, and contoured shape, which require visual references for accurate construction.

Without measurement photos, we discourage you from placing an order for the following items because repairs and remakes are not always possible, depending on the circumstances specific to an order:

1. Classic barongs made of piña - delicate and rare; the fabric has supply issues
2. Classic barongs with intricate thread work - delicate, and the work is time-consuming
3. Classic barongs that are hand-embroidered - delicate, and the work is time-consuming
4. Classic barongs with a non-standard cut - have adjustments in the standard pattern; require fitting to ensure adequate fit and proper drape.
