Does anyone have any recommendations about where to buy a good suit that is also value for money?

I have seen the S.T.O.C. (or something similar) stores and was thinking of buying a suit there.

I wear a lot of suits, with some from Itaewon, of varying quality, and some store-bought. My wife dragged me into a Zishen the other day and we walked out with two decent suits for 200,000, total. They're polyester, of course, but don't look half bad, and the shop will cuff the pants for you in about five minutes. Seemed from the flyer that there were branches everywhere, but I only know the one between Ori and Bojeong station in Bundang.

I've never gotten a decent suit for a decent value off the rack. There's a thread about tailors, which are relatively affordable in Korea. Beware that many Itaewon tailors aren't actually bespoke (just made-to-measure) and most of them contract to the same sewing shop.

I've gotten nice suits at Hahn's, but I've had to be very prepared and specific about what I want.

Decent suit equals 5-600,000...anything less you'll get cardboard inner supports.

The material is the most important part...that and construction.
