The question these days is, which head of a nation is the most unstable? Seems like they're almost all nuts! 😳
Fash-Un police: Kim Jong Un BANS leather coats to stop citizens copying his look
Leather coats became popular in North Korea after Kim first donned one in 2019
Initially the preserve of wealthy elites who could afford real leather, cheap knock-offs began appearing in recent months using synthetic materials
Fashion police have been deployed to confiscate the coats amid fears they are cheapening the Supreme Leader's look and undermining his authority
North Korea tightly controls the styles of citizens, including approved haircuts

North Korea has banned people from wearing leather trench coats after the fashion item became a favourite of dictatorial ruler Kim Jong-un, it has been claimed.
First worn by Kim in 2019, the coat became popular among the North Korean elite who were keen to show their loyalty to the Supreme Leader and who could afford real leather.
But recently, knock-off imitations have proliferated and fashion police have now been deployed to shut down merchants selling them and take them off people amid fears it cheapens Kim's look and undermines his authority.

'[Police] say that wearing clothes designed to look like the Highest Dignity’s is an ‘impure trend to challenge the authority of the Highest Dignity,' a source told Radio Free Asia, using a common honorific to refer to Kim.
'They instructed the public not to wear leather coats, because it is part of the party’s directive to decide who can wear them.'
The outlet said knock-off versions of the coat first began appearing in September this year when unofficial trade between China and North Korea was reopened following a shut-down during the Covid pandemic.
