Summary

| Description |
Soldiers heading to the Palace of International Friendship located in Mount Myohyang. The uniforms were made out of Vinalon, a stiff, shiny synthetic material unique to North Korea. The North Koreans were so proud of this material, invented by a Korean scientist in 1939, that they called it the "juche fiber". Most of it was produced 175 miles down the coast in Hamhung. There is a limited palette: drab indigo for factory workers uniforms, black or gray for office workers. Red was reserved for the scarves that children wore around their necks until the age of thirteen as part of their obligatory membership in the Young Pioneers. |
