What did male students wear in 1919?

Chinese tunic suit (Chinese tunic suit) is a kind of stand-up lapel with four patch pockets designed by Dr. Sun Yat-sen based on his extensive absorption of European and American clothing, and combining the characteristics of Japanese student clothing (诘衣) and Chinese clothing.

The clothing is called Chinese tunic suit by the world.

In April 1929, the Mao suit was officially declared as a legal uniform by the National Government.

After the 1950s, the Mao suit became the official clothing for everyone from national leaders to ordinary people.

After the 1980s, the Mao suit was gradually forgotten among the people, but national leaders were still accustomed to wearing the Mao suit when attending major events.

On February 29, 2016, the Central Committee of the Kuomintang submitted a proposal to the fourth session of the 12th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, recommending that the Mao suit be used as the official national dress.

In 1919, when Dr. Sun Yat-sen was living in Shanghai, he once took a Japanese army uniform he had worn to Henry Clothing Store and asked a tailor to change it into "casual clothes". After being changed into "casual clothes", it still looked a bit like a British military uniform.

But among casual clothes, it is neither a "Tang suit" nor a "suit", so the clerk named it Mao suit.

At that time, the Chinese tunic suit had a seam on the back, a belt at the middle of the back, nine buttons on the front placket, and "fat pleats" on the upper and lower pockets.
