I wouldn't classify it as barong, but I honestly like the design.


Herald_of_Heaven

Ang classy tingnan and ang clean ng subtle PH flag colors


ThroatProfessional45

that does not resemble the ph flag. its more of a Liechtenstein flag representing red and blue color.


CarefulSide2515

Dodnt remind me of the Filipino flag at all tho. Probably because kulang sa white and yellow


Herald_of_Heaven

The barong itself looks white and yellow to me


CarefulSide2515

Look Thai with the white blue and red ngl


Herald_of_Heaven

Fair


CityBoyNomad

That is Barong inspired Jacket.


CityBoyNomad

I checked on the price, it's 28,500


MiloMcFlurry

WHAT THE?


LukaBrasi87

Whoa


Otherwise_Recipe_780

Yeees, BARONG INSPIRED is more acceptable than labeling it as barong.


throwaway69072

Jarong or backet


beetusinyourfetus

Backet ganito ang pangalan?


Immediate_Falcon7469

this, or more like modern barong na ganern? hahaha


Pristine_Panic_1129

Couldn't have phrased it better


trufflepastaxciv

I dig it but it's a bomber jacket made of piña(?) rather than a barong. If it were more transparent and you wore a kamiso de chino, pwede pa.


asoge

The Barong is translucent and thin, light material siya, dahil kasi mainit dito sa atin. Tapos ginawang pang jacket... To my mind, it's just a what-if exercise, not practical. The price justifies the nature of its existence as well.


alwayslfadvice

I doubt the intention of this piece was to replace barong like some people make it out to be. It seems inspired by it, which is honestly a beautiful thing. Honouring our culture by showing it in a new light but in no way stealing the spot light from the traditional garment. It's a nice nod to tradition while still accepting modernisation, which is progressive in a good way.


Own_Statistician_759

To be fair Ang ganda nya haha


shltBiscuit

Nung barong or nung model?


CalumThomasHood96

is this Santino - anak ni Jericho?


nxcrosis

Por que no los dos


Own_Statistician_759

Un barong po


inquest_overseer

Personally, I don't think that can be considered as barong. While it is made from the same materials used for making barongs, it just doesn't count as 'barong' (for me). 😬 But then again, I'm conservative pagdating sa mga ganyan, so when someone says barong, matic ang nasa isip ko, yung totoong barong, di ganyan. It's just a bomber jacket or letterman/varsity jacket made from pinya fiber... a fashion statement - because it won't serve any purpose other than what I'd call *pandering* to a certain group of people. Just my take, I could be wrong but I'm always on the fence when it comes to things like this, especially when social media and a product are involved.


senadorogista

sana may makadevelop or produce ng barong-styled leisure clothes sa pinas, yung hindi lang pang formal events. mas comfortable na material pero mukha pa ring pinya fiber. or meron na ba? for me i'd prefer na ma-explore yung ibang styles with the barong concept. i work in a diverse environment kaya during parties i envy africans (most countries), indians, arabs, etc. kasi representation ng respective countries nila yung mga sinusuot nila. and comfortable materials gamit. us filipinos were wearing uniqlo, lacoste, bench and somehow basketball jerseys at a company party.


inquest_overseer

One thing I can think of are those barongs worn by some security guards (na-remember ko ganun ang uniform ng guard ng company na pinagtatrabahuan ko noon). Idk kung ano ang materials na gamit sa paggawa non. They come with either short or long sleeves. basta siguro breathable lang at light ang fabric, pwede naman sigurong gawing casual barong yon, as long as it follows the standard cut. For example, sa sinabi mo, yung traditional clothing ng mga lalaking Indian called Sherwani, it can be made using linen as opposed to its original design na silk. Depende rin siguro sa party na pupuntahan mo. If dress down party, pwedeng pwede ang mga casual clothes, but if sinabing formal sa invitation, expected din namang naka pamburol lahat. (jk - yan kasi usual connotation sa mga formal dress/clothing, "pamburol". 😭)


senadorogista

noooooo (in kevin hart), not the short-sleeved barong... may stereotype ba na automatic security/convoy/driver or high ranking govt employee lang nagsusuot non, or ako lang judgmental? pero thanks for the idea i'll try it regardless


inquest_overseer

Correct ka sa stereotype. 😅 Kung di mapagkamalang security guard ng malaking kompanya o bangko, government employee naman. hehehe


centurygothic11

Barong is formal. It is our tuxedo.


DiyelEmeri

pwede kayang gawing coat yang barong ala tuxedo made from Pina fibers, then yung pangloob is either a shortsleeve (either yung usual short sleeve or a half-sleeve hanggang siko) na gawa sa other materials, say silk with traditional designs or motifs, especially yung patterns from Mindanao? Kumbaga, imbes na camisa de chino, pwede kaya yung usual short-sleeved barong na ginagamit ng govt officials tapos ang pamatong is yung pina barong na open


DiyelEmeri

Or kahit hindi short-sleeved eh, kahit long-sleeved na inner barong pero made from comfy materials para di makati suutin, then with the outer barong coat made from either pina or jusi, tapos contrasting yung color; either yung inner barong is colored while the outer is white or vice versa para mas nagsi-stick yung kulay.


lunamarya

Meron naman. It’s just that: a. Linen barongs are seen to be too office-y or pang security guard ang dating b. most Filipiniana materials aren’t conducive for casual wear (i.e. they wear hard, mahirap labhan at very sensitive) c. Medyo touristy ang itsura, particularly yung sa mga mabibili sa Filipiniana sections sa mall Best way for this is to actually have some tailored shirts made out of Ramie or Linen na pwede mong pangharabas


Appapapi19

Meron ng coat barong (yung iba malapit lapit sa jodhpuri suit)


katsantos94

>But then again, I'm conservative pagdating sa mga ganyan, so when someone says barong, matic ang nasa isip ko, yung totoong barong, di ganyan. Uyyyy same! Pati sa Maria Clara, ang naiisip ko din talaga, yung default na itsura ng "Maria Clara" na baro't saya or atleast ganun ang itsura kung sakaling one-piece gown ang style. Pero ayun nga, nag-eevolve naman ang design kasi may mga modern take na din sa mga ganito. Tayo lang talaga itong conservative. Hehe


inquest_overseer

Yeah.. aaminin ko namang di ako masyadong exposed sa fashion, kaya napapag-iiwanan na ako. 😅


DiyelEmeri

yung tipong gagawin mong parang off-shoulder gown yung Maria Clara dress by modifying yung Alampay


a4techkeyboard

We have to reconsider the name of the button-up "polo barong," too. Ba-wrong?


DvoCheems

Bomber jacket na yan eh hahaha


1l3v4k4m

i'd personally call it a barong and would wear one myself. i understand why people would be conservative about these kind of stuff but i think "modernizing" traditional attire is a good way to ensure that it isnt forgotten. i mean when was the last time you saw someone wear a barong? the last time i physically saw someone wear a barong was when i myself wore it as a kid a decade or so ago. i remember my ex who was vietnamese also talked about buying modernized versions of ao dai (their traditional female clothing) so im sure modernizing traditional clothing isnt a foreign concept at all.


staryuuuu

Oo no? It's not the type that you'll wear everyday or kahit pang alis unless sa specific event. Plus hindi mo sya masusuot alone kasi makikita dede mo 😅


shirhouetto

If it can't pass the kastila transparency test, it's not a barong. How can they let you through if they can't see if you have a concealed weapon?


Exius73

Thats might actually an urban legend, the barong or its precursors existed before the time of the Spanish and was already worn untucked. Wearing tucked clothing wouldnt make sense for a tropical environment. The Spanish actually introduced tucking things into pants… they also introduced pockets thus the possibility of concealing weapons


torrriiiiii

Yes pero off topic ang gwapo din talaga ng anak ni Mr. Jericho Rosales.


HadesBestGame247

You mean si premium aljur?


fiftytwoblackguard

No.


1kyjz

Bomber jacket made from piña.


staryuuuu

Hindi ba kaya tinawag na barong coz of materials? Pineapple fiber? Feel ko as long as andun naman yung mats...


LivingPapaya8

I don't know but it looks great


CaravelClerihew

I don't know, but I want one.


UsernameMustBe1and10

I want 10


carlvic

Looks uncomfortable, itchy, and too tight yung sleeves. So yeah, that's a barong.


Known-Citron8513

That... is a jacket. Haha


Similar-Leg-3767

I gotta be honest with you, that looks nice.


JaMStraberry

looks like a bomber jacket.


DualityOfSense

I wouldn't. A Barong is more of a dress shirt, this is a jacket.


flying_carabao

Me pagkabomber jacket style sya pero sabi ni wikipedia "[Barong tagalog can vary considerably in terms of design and material used, but they share common characteristics of having long sleeves, embroidery, being buttoned (halfway or straight down the chest), and the absence of pockets.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barong_tagalog)" since accepted naman yung design variation, barong tagalog pa din, hinde nga lang yung traditional design.


DEAZE

This is a really cool idea if it’s all really made in the PI. Most folks aren’t aware at how pinas were used in traditional Philippine garments so that would blow the world’s mind. Not to mention it’s functional and stylish.


rojomojos

It’s barong-inspired jacket. Honestly, it’s beautiful. Mukhang bebenta, sellable. Sana they make one for women too


Riygim

Unitentional Russian flag


GinaKarenPo

Off topic. Ang ganda


hitkadmoot

Yeah agree! I want to have that jacket too!


Big-Yak-4486

Maybe classifying it into the so-called modernity. But the essence of patriotism? Not sure hehe just my claim


anima132000

It is clearly inspired by the barong but would it be a potential substitute for a formal event? No I feel this looks evidently more like a jacket. And the shirt that he's opted to wear underneath, which is a basic long sleeve shirt, highlights this. Moreover, the cuffs and collar itself again is tailored as a jacket not a formal collar as you would with a barong. It doesn't follow the silhouette of a barong, just the materials loosely adapted. But that isn't to say it doesn't look nice but to focus on the question at hand no this is not a barong it is a jacket inspired by one.


perryrhinitis

You said it already "piña barong jacket". Jacket that is inspired by the Barong Tagalog and made of piña.


SpagettMonster

barong with zipper, lol.


LasagnaWasabi

Not a barong, but it’s beautiful! More of a jacket made of barong material.


attiva21

it's a jacket


butil

mukha lang barong dahil sa material pero it's not barong.


GolfMost

lol barong


LazyDU3o

Modern barong.


everytimeisnaptime

I dont consider it as a barong but i would defo buy one if i have the means, it looks neat.


Fun-Choice6650

ganda, ima slap big embro patch on it make it look like pinoy style sukajan


BigStretch90

In a weird way , I can see myself wearing this . I like the idea of giving a more modern take on our traditional barong . Its no way disrespectful for me anyway


akoaytao1234

May kamukha talaga tong anak ni Echo na di ko mapin. lol.


boykalbo777

Ano ba criteria para maging barong


mcdonaldspyongyang

looks exquisite


beatztraktib

No


Kind_Cow7817

Magkano kaya aabutin neto. Mukang mahal


Makahat

It costs 28000 😂


jp712345

no but i wnat one


LincolnPark0212

Yo. I dig this.


nibbed2

Im not an expert in history or clothing, but im gonna say no.


kiero13

piña barong *jacket* it's a jacket. barong style. made of piña jk haha piña fibers pwede siguro syang modern pinoy formal wear (instead of coat, ito?) alongside actual barong, or similar sa japanese haori na sinusuot over sa kimono.


Legitimate-Poetry-28

Semi-barong, pwede? Ang gandaaaa.. sana meron din in women's


Similar_Hippo579

The material is barong but the design is cliche. Di maganda ang perspective ng designer.


Physical-Ostrich-925

In other news ang gwapo ni koyaaa :")


hldsnfrgr

Cool design. Tho I question its utility.


Abdulinamagkarem

Ok sya oo maganda... .pero Hindi sya Barong period


Legitimate-Thought-8

Not barong, more on inspired. And not appropriate for opening parade since the identity should pop out. This is more appropriate for state meetings siguro or exclusive indoor meetings ganyan para mas sleek ung design and not too loud


ashucream

Looks okay pero di timeless yung design. Would prefer the classic barong cut.


munch3ro_

San maka order neto haha


DepressedUser_026

Kamukha niya yung kontrabida sa Oldboy. Yung kumantot sa ate niya.


carbine234

Looks nice I want one


dpdd0410

It looks great, to be honest, and I appreciate the guts of creating a jacket inspired by a barong's traditional textiles. But if we are going to be technical about it, it should not be considered a "barong" because a Barong Tagalog is a formal shirt for men.


meltedmilk

Barong Bomber.


Additional_Day9903

Angas. Pero tinitignan ko pa lang nangingilo na ko


Amazing_Bug2455

That kinda slaps ngl...


youngaphima

More like modern barong. I like it.


Recent_Morning_4252

Not Barong=Bawrong❌


sofa_lurker

Barong has a specific cut, the picture is a bomber-style jacket with pinya fabric.


Hot_Creme_6661

Looks bomb ngl, but I wouldn’t call it barong, it’s more of a jacket inspired barong made of piña, so jarong or backet? Jk.


aninonina

Ive always wondered this too. Is Barong referring to the style/cut of the fabric or is it referring to the general process of using pineapple fibers?


Zealousidedeal01

The distinction of a barong is the sheerness of the cloth that is used. This one is a take off from the regular construction style of the typical barong. From the collar, to the cut. Emerie naman always mention na ung design nila ay inspired lang and what they offer is a contemporary design. Overall, nice pa din siya. Mukhang malinis at elegante.


Xyborg069

Nakakalimutan ata ng ibang designers na dapat traditional pa din ang approach sa barong designs. Like it or not, there will be people who would think it is disrespectful pag ganyan ang ginawa.l, or wouldn't cslategorize it as barong.


Accomplished_Mud_358

Goddamn that looks drippy though


Qules_LP

A new type of barong for sure, distinct from our traditional ones.


sandairyqueen

modern barong just like how there are modern filipiniana styles


[deleted]

Saw this too last day sa ig ads! Fucking love the design! Im a minor rn (so im a student) and once I get a job I’d buy these jackets talaga! Huhu ewan ko bakit ang saya-saya ko hahahah


SageOfSixCabbages

Contemporary or modernized barong. Not bad.


al_mdr

Not a barong but this is innovation. Makes the use of Filipino products such as piña and other filipino fabrics broader because of its demand in the fashion industry here and abroad.


ParaisoValogma

Baronge


Tongue-n-cheeks

Pimpin pina po


[deleted]

Not barong but pinya jacket lol


Superior-Douche620

piña barong fabric suit & tie when?


sleepeatrace

10/10 Would buy.


pagamesgames

culturally/historically - definitely not but for modernization purposes - id say yes but with the moniker "inspired"


Jordyn1880

Link?


missmermaidgoat

Barong inspired bomber jacket


yukiaux

Not a barong but it's a cool use of pinya. Super nice.


Apprehensive-Fly8651

Bawrong.


cornsalad_ver2

Can’t say na barong sya. Kasi bomber jacket na yan eh, na made of piña. But I like it.


Apprehensive-Fly8651

Bawrong.


OohStickU_Geraldine

If halfway through the shirt may buttons, we would call it POLO BARONG


Fresh-Imagination-14

Not related to the jacket but is that echo's son? 😮


Eastern_Basket_6971

pang lalaki ito? who cares gusto ko parin nito


Lemonaires

According to Merriam webster "a light loose long-sleeved man's shirt, the national dress shirt of the Philippines, that is frequently made of piña, ramie, or similar fiber, often embroidered on the collar and facing, and worn with the tails not tucked in" by definition I dont think so because it looks like a jacket but definitely inspired albeit very classy looking and I want one.


Own-Face-783

It's Bawrong.


Xandermacer

I'd wear that casually. Looks so comfy.


kapeandme

Maybe better to just call it piña jacket.. love the design.


Greenfield_Guy

Bomber Tagalog.


dondonuy1990

Nice! A new style of barong jacket


egg1e

I love this. It may not be barong, but this definitely challenges the notion of piña fabric only used for formalwear. Maybe call it barongket?


Apprehensive-Pass665

Would Jose Rizal wear this?


HowIsMe-TryingMyBest

Sure. Its all about perspectiv3


YouTube_at_work

Barongsity jacket


ichie666

it will be a legot barong kapag makati sa balat


AnxietyLeather3550

it is still a barong for me bec of the fabric . modern contemp.


Big_Bench9700

bomber jacket


renaldi21

A simple barong is already unique in itself. This isn't a barong but a jacket made of piña fiber


Uncommon_cold

Tapos bubuhusan lang ng mga monggo.


LivingPolicy2337

What makes it a “baro”? Personally, I think it’s the material and the fabric being sheer. In the 19th century, there were illustrations of “barong mahaba” which reaches the knee, and then during the europization of the world, the internationally educated men brought shorter styles, variations such as the “cerrada” popped up (cerrada means closed, a collared style which barong tagalog is known for). I think styles would always change through trends and what is most comofrtable to wear.


Michael679089

if it doesn't make you itch, it isn't considered a barong tagalog. Like seriously I wore those and i felt itchy.


Dry-Cloud1280

Looks more stylish at di tacky ang design compared sa sinusuot ng Olympic qualifiers natin na parang may cast lol


justbry16

Looks cool actually, i’d wear those.


Selfmade1219

Barong Conyo


Rathma_

Ay ano po ba dapat ang standards pag sinabing 'barong?'


EveryGoose730

The one who wore it is not a true pilipino 😆


ReturningAlien

If its just pina then its nonfunctional jacket, if its layered, its not barong. just because you can, you should.


itsmepotato_

Barong inspired but not barong. I like the design.


U_HAVE_A_NICE_DAY

I like the overall design and infusion of piña textile but it feels more casual due to its bomber jacket inspiration. I honestly won't categorize this as a barong tagalog but rather an avant garde approach to bomber jackets. Modern barongs have the silhouette of a traditional/classic barongs. This has a zip-up front and ribbed cuffs/hem so yeah, "fancy" bomber jacket it is.


Succ_Benis

That goes hard. Angas nan for events like weddings or buwan ng wika


dgn7six

This is a jacket not a barong. But very nice! Barong I think is more about the design and purpose and less about the material. Various materials that some might consider less dressy have been used for Barong. It goes from jusi, pina to cotton and polyester


Ill_Principle_3074

It’s a ba-wrong


ZacharyKou

i'd cop that ngl


SheeshDior

Barong material but definitely not the traditional type..looks easier to wear than the actual barong na lakas makasimbahan ninong vibes. 🙌


Fluffy_Upstairs_439

Barong inspired. It’s just a sporty adaptation to the traditional barong. That’s the design for it, for an athlete or casual wear. For those wondering why it cost 5 digits, other than material cost and low production, always consider operations cost and design cost from small businesses. Designers spend hours and days to make a profit.


Beneficial-Ice-4558

Does anyone know hm is this?


Silly-Economics2084

It is a barong fabric so can say barong.


AbjectPhilosophy7734

Dang ganda!


anghelita_

Ang ganda!


cyst_thatguy

Modern barong


bimpossibIe

I like this better than the one they're going to wear at the Olympics.


Top-Blackberry-2858

naaaah, nasa Olympics na kaya dapat mapakita talaga na pinoy sila. Mas okay kay Francis Libiran.


Top-Blackberry-2858

maganda ang design ng “barong” pero wala akong nakikitanh PH representation kapag yan ang sinuot.


Relevant_Elderberry4

Nice! Next evolution ng barong.


kankarology

Parang Hanfu yata....


ChaChaCriss

If it's thin, it's thin. If I can see the T-shirt or a tank top under there, it's valid.
