Shawn Glen from Guyana in South America his shirt is called a “shirtjack” and was introduce by former President Forbes Burnham who wanted to break away from the traditional suit and tie worn by Presidential staff. It was mostly worn by political figures in the 80s and have since be adapted by everyone in the culture. Its style is derived from a cross of the Cuban and Asian style similar styles. Gerardo Delacruz and Edgardo Teddy Cornejo are wearing the Barong Tagalog, an embroidered formal shirt and considered the national dress of the Philippines. In Filipino culture, it is a common formal attire worn on special occasions such as weddings, galas, formal meetings and “black-tie” events. The type of cloth is traditionally made from Piña (pineapple) fabric which is hand-loomed from pineapple leaf fibers or Jusi fabric which is mechanically woven made from abacá or banana silk. The root word of barong is the Tagalog word “baro” meaning outfit or clothing. “Barong Tagalog” literally means “Tagalog outfit.” The term was originally used to describe what people, both men and women, typically wore in the Tagalog region during the Spanish era.
