Mao Tse-Tung's Clothes

[ReVoLuTiOnArY-BrOtHeR]

Comrades, what is the name of the uniform Chairman Mao-Tse-Tung used to wear. I am planning to purchase one when I go on my trip to China. If anyone has a link to his clothing please message it. Thank you very much.

That could have been very common attire in that period of Chinese history. If you look at pictures of Sun Yat-sen you'll see he often dressed very similarly.

[The Vegan Marxist]

It's referred to as the 'Zhongshan suit', as shown in the wiki link.

Thank you comrades.

Don't forget to pick up a matching Little Red Book while you're at it

The mao suit looks like a good suit to just wear in general whether or not one happens to be in China

Indeed. Why not, say, jeans and a t-shirt?

[Robocommie]

Everywhere I go, I wear a white tie tuxedo. Nobody says us Socialists can't be putting on the ritz like Cole Porter.

Comrade, the one Chairman Mao usually wore was is the gray "Mao Suit" right?

[Revy]

Mao wore the suit in various colors, from gray to brown to green, from my perusal of Google Images.

all I am showing is this suit is not particular to Mao.

Even Chiang Kai-Shek wore it.

because jeans are invented by capitalist nation USA. and t-shirt is also capitalist pigs USA. also because jeans are really bad because they dont fit well, they are placed to low and their rought corners is like bad capitalist style. wearing t-shirt alone is also bad, its to cold to wear that stuff, better with a good jacket like the mao suit, it can be closed at the top, that the t-shirt cannot. and it is really nice with pockets and everything. nobody should ever be forced to wear materilistic clothes like jeans and t-shirt that only shows the standarts and statues of your own higher class. but a simple mao suit can be worn all year. and no need to mass consume.

Comrade, how many colors are there? Just curious to know.

[Wanted Man]

Under the communist dictatorship, everybody will be forced to wear these.

Jesus Christ I love communism already.

It's called Zhongshan Suit for a reason.

Sun Yat-sen (Sun Zhongshan) designed it as the suit wore by Nationalist revolutionaries...The Chinese Communist Party was once part of the KMT's revolution, and naturally they adopted the suit. Moreover, the CCP claim to be the true heir of Sun Yat-sen.

It pisses me off when the media makes a big deal about Hu Jintao wearing a "Mao suit". Shows just how ignorant those "journalists" are.

Indeed, for those of you who have watched the recent movie on the final stage of the Chinese civil war and the birth of the PRC, called 'The Founding of a Republic', you'll notice there's a scene fairly close to the beginning where, at one of the political conferences between the CPC and KMT, a journalist asks Mao and Chiang why they're both wearing the suit and if it has any meaning, and Mao says something about it being a sign of their mutual desire for cooperation and national unity...shortly before the collapse of civil peace of course, and at the same time as when the US was helping airlift KMT troops to strategically important locations. If you haven't watched the film yet, you should, it's pretty cool.
