What is mao suit?

The Mao suit, also known as the Zhongshan suit, is a style of traditional Chinese jacket that was popularized by Chinese leader Mao Zedong during the early 20th century. The suit is characterized by its high collar, four pockets, and straight-cut design.

The Mao suit became widely popular in China during the mid-20th century and was worn by many government officials, military personnel, and ordinary citizens. It was often worn as a symbol of nationalism and revolutionary ideals.

The Mao suit fell out of fashion in China in the 1980s as more Western-style clothing became popular. However, it has experienced a resurgence in recent years as a fashionable and nostalgic choice for individuals looking to embrace traditional Chinese culture.

The suit is named after Sun Yat-sen, also known as Sun Zhongshan, a revolutionary leader in China who often wore similar style jackets.
