These are styling features found mostly in shirts and sometimes in jackets. Mandarin Collars and Oriental Collars are sometimes referred to as Band Collars. A Mandarin collar is a band around the collar that meets up in the front. In this style, it clips closed together in the front above the buttons. An Oriental Collar is similar to the Mandarin collar where the two ends of the collar panel join in the front. A Thai Collar is of similar style but does not join in the front, creating a space between the two ends of the band above the first button in front.
