FELIPE is a half-open formal barong in natural silk cocoon, finished with long sleeves and a regular collar. This silk is reeled from the cocoon of the Bombyx mori silkworm, prized as both the strongest and, for its weight, the lightest natural textile fiber. This half-open construction is known as “pechera” (from the Spanish pecho, “chest”) — the oldest and most classic barong style, with embroidery concentrated along the chest opening. Tagged by the maker for formal occasions, wedding wear. Part of the EN Barong Filipino line, categorized as men’s barong.
