Different sources are telling me different things about its origins. One said it was based on a dress popular in Guangdong. Another says it was based on the dress worn by Chinese immigrants in Japan and Southeast Asia. And still another says Sun Yat-sen took a Japanese military uniform to some tailor as a model. But then, another source says he asked another tailor (by a completely different name) to design it. What is the deal here? --Jiang
Can we somehow change the mass of pinyin in the lead paragraph to allow for a more clear-flowing intro sentence without that stuff crammed in there, important though it is? Readability is still an important feature! --Dpr
Could we create a section on the Liberation cap?
The paragraph stated that this style of clothing was common in Japan and southeast Asia before Sun Yat-sin brought it to China. Then it stops short on further tracing the origin. How/when was this style brought to Japan in the first place? Kowloonese 19:48, July 15, 2005 (UTC)
There's a good pic over on de, if anyone knows how to transfer it across? 210.86.74.223 07:33, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
The link to Four Cardinal Principles should be checked. -- chrislb 问题 16:36, 15 July 2006 (UTC) Citation 4 is an invalid link and I am going to remove it. Bvwrigle ( talk) 17:19, 22 February 2019 (UTC)Bvwrigle Bvwrigle ( talk) 17:19, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
Are there any citations for the contents in the "Misconception" section? Who said Mao suit must include some sort of hat? Chairman Mao himself almost never wore hats with the suit, except when it's the military green version of the PLA uniform. Pseudotriton 18:03, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
The article mentions North Korea as wearing the suit but are there differences? Take for example, Stalin's suit which looks very similar. Are they both based on the German military uniform? Why is one of these suits more ingrained into a national identity than another?-- Countakeshi 01:36, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
In Japan, the boys' school blazers are very similar.

It's a much better title and more culturally faithful to China. John Riemann Soong ( talk) 01:48, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
The Russian gymnasium uniform (called "gimnasterka" in Russian) is very similar and became a part of military uniform and later that of the party. For example, Zhadov's portrait: File:Zhdanov.GIF -- MathFacts ( talk) 05:05, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
I've heard, and decades ago also read, the term maopakje, Dutch ( diminutive) for Mao suit, being used to indicate a simplistic standard (also e.g. of behaviour) to which humans are forced to comply. It was regarded as the symbol of communist coerced equality. In case also the English term had been used and interpreted this way, the article should mention that fact.▲ SomeHuman 2011-07-18 05:27 (UTC) P.S.: Here is a link to a 2005 sample, in authentical Broken English, of the Dutch term criticizing egalitarianism.▲ SomeHuman 2011-07-18 05:47-05:56 (UTC)
