I would like an outer coat with this kind of collar, but nothing I search for is giving me the right results. I have seen them around town, but the results for "mandarin collar" give me predictable results. Is there a proper name for it?

Nehru collar is not quite the same but very similar. I would call the above a 'military tunic' style, but I don't know whether there is a better term.

Other than Mandarin, I've seen similar collars called a standing collar, or high standing collar. Also seen it called a "military" collar, but that applies to a lot of collar types. Maybe cadet collar? I think that's a bit different though.
