Italian term

collo alla coreana

Italian to English Marketing Textiles / Clothing / Fashion Product Line Description
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

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.
