MANUELITO, a half-open office barong in white polyester, is part of the EN Barong Filipino line, finished with long sleeves and a regular collar. Polyester is an easy-care, low-maintenance fabric often chosen for its practicality and resistance to wrinkling. 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 office wear.
