Where Can I Find a Tailor in the Philippines to make me a Barong, Tux or Suit?

Tailors in the Philippines are superb so you can easily find one that can make a suit or formal wear for you.

A Barong can look good on Expats who want to attend pinoy formal events and local business functions. A good example would be Hollywoood's resident auteur Quentin Tarantino, he looks very dashing in a hand-embroidered piƱa Barong by Tesoros.

In fact, every true-blooded pinoy male should have one ready in his closet with the white comfy undershirt.

Wearing a white undershirt or sando is a must to avoid "bactung" or bakat utung which means your nipples are erect and showing through the barong - a common fashion faux pas when wearing the barong.

You may try known tailoring masters like Arthur's.

Arthur's Tailoring & Cut-Rite

• Diamond Finance Building 603 Edsa Cubao 1100 Quezon City Metro Manila |Phone: +63(2)7264837

For Barongs (customary Filipino formal wear or suit) you can have one custom made by any Filipino tailor, haberdashery or wedding couturier. There are such tailor shops at the malls that cater for the Barong demand such as King Philip Tailors and Kingsmen.

  4. Arthur's Makati made a suit for me and their cutter screwed it up. The measurement along the back was too short, and the sleeves rode up almost to my elbows whenever I stretched my arms forward. My tailor in Los Angeles explained the problem to me and replaced the whole back of the suit. Good thing he found fabric to match.

  20. Hi Philippines! I am in South America where the profession of Tailor is dying. I would like to know if any established tailor shop can provide me with swatches and sample to see f we can start a long-distance tailoring business for local foreigners and executives. I know you need about 3 yards (2.8 meters) for a regular suit, buttons, thread, labels plus 8 to 10 hours of labor - please, let's talk about the possibility of you doing the suits and winter coats, and I look for the clients. I would like to have three prices: Silver (for first suits or young people), Gold (for office workers) and Platinum (for high executives). I am also a programmer, I can make a software so I can send models, measurements and specifications to the PH in seconds, together with payment in US$ - Tell me how much would it cost for suits of three categories? for me to start thinking of a business plan - I am Daniel, my e-mail is: BusinessCenter@Post.com - Let's talk!
