Italian term or phrase: spallone
This is from the description of a shirt from a major cashmere clothing company:

Camicia di gusto sportivo con automatici, **spallone** e doppio taschino, realizzata in denim sportivo, un tessuto cimosato e dal suggestivo effetto slavato

All I've been able to find as a translation for "spallone" is "smuggler (who carries contraband on his back)". I suppose he wears a shirt while he does it but...

Can anyone enlighten me?

Explanation:

Or it may be shoulder pads. You cannot know for sure unless you see the shirt:

Is it a man's shirt or a woman's shirt? Funnily enough many women's shirts have shoulder pads. If yours is indeed a shirt for women (and you didn't say) then I would go with shoulder pads.

Since the shirt is made of denim, I'm going with this, thinking of a somewhat Western style.

double-layered shoulders


Explanation:
From a uniform description, see link below:
Personale maschile: nella parte superiore, a copertura delle spalle, deve essere applicato un tratto dello stesso tessuto della camicia (“spallone”). Deve essere cucito perimetralmente con cucitura a due aghi, come da campione, avendo cura che l’unione del davanti, del dietro e dello spallone sia realizzata con un’ unica cucitura. La parte posteriore deve essere sagomata a due punte, come da campione.

And although I'm not sure of the correct English for it you can probably work it out from here.
PS I also found "mule"!
