Clearance barong tagalog and Filipiniana, one size left of each
Everything on this page is a single piece in a single size, already made and sitting in our stockroom. Most started life as a sample, a cancelled order or the last of a run. When it sells, it is gone, and there is no second one in a different size.
That is the trade with a clearance barong tagalog. You are not choosing your size here, you are checking whether the size that already exists happens to be yours. In return you skip the wait a made-to-order piece needs, and the price sits below the same style at full run.
How clearance works here
Each listing carries its own code, the ones beginning US or PH. The size sits in the product title, so you can see it before you click. "Organza White Classic Filipiniana Bolero - Arah - XL" means one bolero, extra large, and nothing else.
Availability is the only real difference between this page and the rest of the catalogue. Every garment carries the same embroidery, the same construction and the same premium materials as its equivalent in the main collection.
The garments are not seconds. They are the same pieces we sell at full price, made by the same sewers from the same fabric. What makes them clearance is arithmetic, not quality: we hold one, you either fit it or you don't.
-
Men
Mostly barong coats and premium barongs in single sizes: cocoon, jusilyn and organza. If nothing fits, the full men's barong tagalog range is made to order in every size.
-
Women
Boleros, alampays and the occasional dress. For a wider choice, see Filipiniana boleros or the full women's Filipiniana.
-
Kids
Boys' barongs by age size, usually 12 to 16. Growing fast? Order a size up from the boys barong tagalog range instead.
-
On sale, not clearance
Want a discount but need your own size? The on sale page holds reduced styles that are still made to order in the full size run.
Who clearance suits
A clearance barong tagalog works well if your event is close and the calendar has stopped being negotiable. A wedding in three weeks does not leave room for a barong that still has to be cut and embroidered. A clearance piece ships from the shelf it already sits on. It also works if you are buying a spare, dressing a last-minute guest, or need one more barong for a groomsman who was added late.
It works badly if you are buying for a whole entourage. Matching six men from single pieces is close to impossible. Fabric dye lots vary between production runs, and the available sizes will not line up. For that, use a groomsmen package.
Checking the fit before you buy
Measurements matter more on this page than anywhere else on the site, because there is no exchange into an alternative size. Measure yourself in inches, then compare against the chart. Do not go by the size you usually wear in a shirt; Philippine sizing runs smaller than US or Australian sizing, often by a full size.
| Measure | How to take it |
|---|---|
| Chest or bust | Around the fullest part, tape level, arms down. |
| Waist | At the natural waist, the narrowest point, not at the belt. |
| Shoulder | Seam to seam across the back. The one that decides whether a barong sits right. |
| Sleeve | Shoulder seam to wrist bone, arm slightly bent. |
If your measurements sit between two sizes and only the smaller one is in clearance, buy from the main range and ask about custom fitting instead. A barong that pulls across the shoulders cannot be let out.
Questions about clearance
Why is this one cheaper than the same style elsewhere on the site?
Because we hold exactly one, in one particular size. The equivalent full-price listing is manufactured to your own measurements, whereas this garment is already completed.
Is it damaged or second quality?
No. These are standard pieces from ordinary production. Every garment passes the same inspection as our regular inventory, and anything with an imperfection is withdrawn rather than discounted.
Can I get it in a different size?
Not from this page. Find the same style in the main collection and order it made to measure.
How fast does it ship?
Faster than made to order, because nothing has to be sewn. Current timelines by country are on our shipping page.
Can I return it if the fit is wrong?
Our returns and exchange terms are set out on the shipping and FAQs page. Measure first, because we cannot swap it for another size.
Do new pieces get added?
Yes, whenever a run ends or a sample comes back. The page changes often, so it is worth checking again.
