The winter jacket from the Mao era, lined with cotton and faux fur, which until recently was exclusively worn by older individuals, is making a comeback among China’s youth this winter. The demand for the fashionably considered obsolete Dà huā ǎo 大花袄 has surged on shopping platforms like Taobao since November. The comfortable house jacket with a floral pattern has even found its way onto China’s runways in various new styles. The Jūn dàyī 军大衣 serves as its male equivalent, a stiff military jacket from northeastern China, recently showcased in public by the film star Andy Lau.
