I don't know anything about these jackets, this looks like a later version? of the same jacket.
It sold for 100 bucks on ebay this year
It is longer as it was an XL

The only Sukhoi’s North Korea has right now are SU-7 and SU-25, but they also have others from other makers.

That photo is from a story in the Chinese military review about a chinese Su-27 UBK pilot, that probably is photo of him with a J3-1 as you say.
I am clueless about modern jets.

The photo above is not Korean, but the Chinese pilot who died in the SU-27UBK crash in 2013.

Sorry, I think I was wrong. I think due shape of the air intake is looks like Su-27 or 35, or one of its Chinese versions.

It does not matter in this case. Thank you for the rare photos of Chinese and Korean jackets.

I have a complete chinese set in my collection since 2010/2011 ...

They where pretty easy to find on TAOBAO back then - design and materials look somehow similar to the russian/corean versions.

My set is the summer-version
