Besides he’s also getting married to the love of his life!

TIPS:

1. Be sure you have your desired pegs ready (at least 3) before you personally meet with your Groom Suit designer or Tailor. If you can, try to create a vision board which will include photos of your dream suit or barong pegs.
2. Be very specific with what you like. From this, your desired Groom Suit designer or Tailor would have an idea about what you like, your style and would also be able to tell you the possible price range of your suit or barong.
