How are the suits in the cheap suit shops? The ones which have permanent 50% off or 2 for the price of 1 type sales. I'm on a bit of a budget at the moment and want to get a couple of suits for my new job.

Are they hideous? Or do they look OK? I know I can go and look myself but sometimes things look a whole lot better in the store before you get them home or wear them for a coupla weeks..

(Korean sizes are fine for me)

I've gotten suits at sidewalk sales before. They may be two seasons old, but they've looked sharp.

They are great cheap suits.

But therein lies the catch; they are cheap suits.

You can get a decent suit at emart for 100,000-150,000.

98% of people won't know it's a cheap suit. Of course, you will know!!

There's almost always a sale in one of the department stores. Get a decent off-the-peg suit for 300-400,000. They will alter the always too long pants for you right on the spot. Unless you are 6'4'' or more!!

What is the quality like for tailor made suits here, in Itaewon or someplace else?
