Mao suit




The modern Chinese tunic suit is a style of male attire traditionally known in China as the Zhongshan suit (simplified Chinese:中山装; traditional Chinese:中山裝; pinyin:Zhōngshān zhuāng) (after Sun Yat-Sen, otherwise Romanized as Sun Zhongshan), and later as the Mao suit (after Mao Zedong). Sun Yat-sen introduced the style shortly after the founding of the Republic of China as a form of national dress although with a distinctly political and later governmental implication.
