A Brief History:
This Chinese Jacket is called ‘Tang Suit' (唐装). Despite it's name, the jacket originates from late Qing Dynasty (1644-1912). It was originally a three-quarter length jacket for Qing officials, but later became shorter as it transformed high quality into daily fashion. After a period of quiet, the tang suit has come back into popularity since the 1980's. Kung Fu movies by Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan can be credited for an influence in its popularity. Not to mention it featuring in The Matrix. The style also has strong links to traditional martial arts such as Tai Chi where the frog buttoned garments are still the choice of style.
