All boys’ colonial clothing began with the same garment: a long-sleeved white shirt. A boy’s shirt was the foundation of every outfit, acting as an undergarment rather than a piece meant to be seen in full. Although a plain white dress shirt was the most popular and recognized garment for boys during the 1700s, there were a few different styles from which to choose — and one popular variety was the mandarin collar. Also known as a Chinese collar or cadet collar, white button-down shirts with a mandarin collar were inspired by the fashion of Imperial China.
Shirts featuring mandarin collars became popular in America’s new colonies thanks to their combination of practicality and fashionable style. Boys, whose clothing mimicked that of their older brothers and fathers, began donning shirts with a mandarin collar during the 18th century. These white boys’ colonial shirts had a short, unfolded collar that stood up against the neck. Perfect under a suit jacket or coat, the colonial mandarin collar shirt could also be adorned with a jabot or ruffles at the cuff for a fancier look.
