separate lapels

All the images I can find of garments with "cortes en la solapa" have lapels that are separate from the collar; in other words, there is a "cut" between the collar and the lapel that extends right to the inner edge, the fold, so that you can have the collar completely turned up and the lapels lying flat. The examples John has posted show this clearly. Here's a close-up of the collar on the first one:

This is a relative of standard notch lapels, which have a V-shaped indentation, but the notch doesn't extend right to the edge, so if you turn the collar up you will inevitably lift the lapels up a bit too (if you see what I mean).

The standard Spanish term for notch lapel seems to be solapa de muesca. See here; the three main types, redonda (shawl), de muesca (notched) and de pico (peaked), are illustrated about halfway down:

In English the images I can find of lapels like those described as "cortes en la solapa" are called "separate lapels", though in the first examples the expression "notch separate lapels" is used. But not just "notch":

"Men's sport overcoat, double breasted eight buttons three to use, notch separate lapels, fitted sleeves, extremely slim body, straps on cuff"

Same description for these:

Here a women's jacket:
"Description: Semi-fitted princess seamed jackets A, B have separate lapels, flared peplums and sleeve variations."
Look at the first picture on the page:

Another:
"A partial lining (the sleeves are unlined), a simple collar and separate lapels"
The fifth picture on the page gives the best view of the lapels.

13 sept. 2017 - Cutting a proper peak(ed) lapel, though, is a very difficult task (hence, very often an increased cost), so make sure that the lapel looks right before you buy the suit. Often the angle of the "peak," or the proportions can look off. While a nice peak(ed) lapel makes a suit look super sharp and classy, an oddly ...

slits in the placket/flap

Don't think its ' lapel' here, and 'cortes' are probably ' ranuras';
unable to post the Google link unfortunately, but if you google ' cortes en la solapa', it could convince you.
Note from asker:
Sorry Oliver but I can't see "solapa" referring to anything else than the lapels of a jacket....

notched lapels

If you look at images, "cortes en la solapa" refers to the form of the lapel.
Look here:https://www.farfetch.com/es/shopping/women/maison-margiela-g... , which is probably the same as John has put in his reference. You can clearly see the kind of lapel.

First, a little background: For those that may need a refresher, the lapel of a man's suit is the folded flap of cloth on a jacket. Typically, it is formed by folding over the front edges of the jacket and sewing to the collar. There are actually (3) types of lapels – notched, peaked, and shawl.Oct 23, 2013

Peaked lapel would be "solapa de pico" so I think this is notched lapel.
