Quentin Tarantino in HMV in Dublin, Ireland signing copies of Death Proof's manuscript. 
He wore a recent gift he got in the event. A little before this event (week or weeks), he was in the Philippines for the premiere of "Death Proof" and was given recognition for his artistic movies. he even met with the President.

Last December 13, Quentin Tarantino, the cutting edge director of "comedic-violent" films, once again generated controversy by wearing the Filipino "Barong Tagalog" during the 65th Annual Golden Globe Awards Night.
The novel sartorial appearance generated equivocal comments. The LA crowd, seeing the "Barong" for the first time, thought the director looked too casual in his "tie-less" get-up. While Pinoys world-wide applauded Quentin for giving their native dress international exposure.
According to www.tesoros.ph Quentin was gifted with a 'TESORO'S" barong by the National Commission of Culture and the Arts Executive Director Cecilia Guidote-Alvarez and by the Film Development Council of the Philippines vice-Chair Christine Dayrit. The Director was presented the 24 hour executed, custom-made barong for his courtesy call to the Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
Tesoro's must have done such a good job as Quentin saw it fit to wear the barong again and in front of an international media event at that.
Quentin's patronage of the barong will endear him in the hearts of the movie going Pinoy (Filipino) public for many years to come.
id say, i love him now/more
