Didn’t I just talk about Philippines Men’s National Costume, Barong Tagalog, the other day? I was watching the Golden Globes Nomination announcement a few hours ago and while I was trying to pay attention to who got the nods, I couldn’t keep my eyes off of Quentin Tarantino. I just knew he was wearing the Barong Tagalog. While the SKB Remixer put a punk twist to it, Quentin wore the Barong Tagalog tradionally, as a formal suit.

I vaguely remember a Filipino article months ago of how Quentin was in the Philippines and talking about how much he likes the Philippines Men’s Wear. I thought he was just bullshitting. I should have known that the great Tarantino would never do that . I apologize for ever doubting him for a minute. I swear I love Pulp Fiction .

Barong Tagalog is Philippines Men’s National Costume. It’s mostly worn by Filipino Men during formal events like weddings and award shows, etc. It’s the suit or tux equivalent to Filipino Men’s Wear. You could’ve knocked me over with a frying pan when I saw this guy on Wardrobe Remix who is calling himself “Manila’s Pride” with his punk rock interpretation of the Barong Tagalog. There was no way in hell he wasn’t gracing the She Knows Best, Stylish Man Project. The way he punktified(yes that is so such a word, hah) the Filipino Men’s Formal Wear by adding rock band patches was very impressive. I LOVE IT!

You know what else I love? The AC/DC buckle belt and the Levi’s yellow digital watch. Even though I’m not much into punk music, and the fact that I’m married to a Metal Martyr, I appreciate this punk twist to Barong Tagalog.
