Italian term or phrase: collo alla coreana
La Camicia doppia : la vera novità proposta nella camiceria del brand napoletano. Un mix che è espressione di una sintesi equilibrata di stile,qualità e innovazione.
Due camicie che si sovrappongono creandone una che sia confortevole e leggera.
La prima -quella interna- ha il ***collo alla coreana*** e si completa con dei bottoncini piatti – così da non creare sovrapposizioni ingombranti con i bottoni classici di madreperla della camicia esterna che monta il collo botton–down.

Would this be "Mandarin collar" in English? Any suggestions much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Nehru Collar


Explanation:
While Mandarin collar is perfectly correct you may want to use another name. Wikipedia lists them both here with almost identical definitions:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collar_(clothing)
Some big names prefer to use this term - I guess it sounds more exotic!
http://www.google.it/search?hl=it&q=Nehru collar men's shirt...

So I guess it depends upon what you clients might prefer.
