On a sultry summer day one year when he inspected frontline posts, Chairman Kim Jong Il suddenly stopped walking and looked at a soldier on duty for a while.
Commanding officers did not know the reason. Kim Jong Il neared the soldier and felt his military uniform wet with sweat.
Saying that the soldiers will have much sweat as they are on duty in sultry summer, Kim Jong Il tenderly told the accompanied commanding officers of the People’s Army to make summer military uniforms with good cloth which helps them sweat less.
When he saw a newly-made summer military uniform sample later, Kim Jong Il guessed for a while quality and colour of its cloth and form of the military uniform and then he unexpectedly said that he would try it on.
Putting on the military uniform and moving from side to side, Kim Jong Il examined it carefully whether the broad-stitched seams were loose. Kim Jong Il with a bright smile on his face, highly appreciated that the military uniform was made well.
