Few indication that makes the uniform real.

-Gold buttons means it should have a while collar inside and it does.

-The fabric looks good 

-The quality is very bad which gives away why it's a real one 

example of a fake one

 

Thanks for the info. Quality doesn’t look so bad to be honest. 

First of all, the lack of a collar lining doesn't make a uniform fake. Those are usually sewn on by the soldiers themselves and replaced every once in a while. I have several early original KPA uniforms with production stamps which didn't have any collar linings when I bought them.
