A half-open office barong in white pure linen, NESTOR carries the EN Barong Filipino name, finished with short sleeves and a regular collar. Linen is a durable, absorbent, naturally cool fabric, qualities that have made it a longstanding favorite for Philippine formalwear despite its tendency to crease. 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.
