North Korea has banned leather coats that copy the style of North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un, multiple sources told Radio Free Asia.
Kim Jong Un popularized the leather jacket in 2019, with the clothing initially worn by rich people who could afford the pricey item.
However, fake leather was soon imported so the jacket could be worn by those with less money, which frustrated the North Korean leader.
“When these leather coats became popular, the law enforcement authorities went after the companies that made the coats that look too much like the Highest Dignity’s,” one source said.
A military parade in North Korea in January showed all the high ranking officials wearing leather jackets, sparking even more interest in the material. However, literal fashion police have worked to confiscate the fake leather jackets in markets and directly from people wearing them.
Citizens have complained saying it is not fair to take a jacket they paid for with money.
“The police respond to the complaints, saying that wearing clothes designed to look like the Highest Dignity’s is an ‘impure trend to challenge the authority of the Highest Dignity,’" another source said. "They instructed the public not to wear leather coats, because it is part of the party’s directive to decide who can wear them.”

Methinks Jill has been repurposing her old shower curtains.
I’m sure you can buy her dresses in Divisoria (Manila’s popular market district that sells everything). Probably for under $20. Status markups are crazy in the fashion business.
This article is inaccurate, they have only banned coats made out of faux leather, aka reather
Oh my gosh! Who’s designing these awful dresses for Jill......terrible just terrible!
Likely from old sofa patterns and window dressings from days gone by.

What would President Trump do?
What will Biden do?
What will Antony Blinken, who is next in line after Harris, Pelosi, and Leahy, do?

That’s what I was thinking.
Highest Dignity
the lockdowns and vaccine passports indicate this.
when all is considered we're not that far from this kind of dictatorship.
Wow. I had a small sofa in Japan covered in the same fabric as Dr.
Jill’s dress in the second from the upper left picture.
And no complaints about her fashion compared to Mrs. Trump.
