I have ape like arms. Finding it a bugger to get any decent sized jumpers/sweaters for winter.

Where does one pick up jumpers/sweaters with long arms that aren't nearly 100k a go.

Apes R us?

I wish there was one.

I am a rather odd shape of really long legs. A shortish body and these massive long arms.

Giordano had one but it was a little too close to be able to put on any winter flab.

You know people are going to ask for pictures!

Better ape-like arms than ape-like faces, habits and manners. I often wondered what Darwin would make of 'ajoshi'. And yet these cave dwellers will be the first to point out our arm hair and say 'monkey man'. Yes, we all evolved from lower primates. That's just a scientific fact. But if anyone doubted the truth of Darwin before coming to Korea, well having met 'ajoshi' there's simply no justification for doubting our lower primate ancestry whatsoever.

Thank you ajoshi for helping make the case for Darwin.

Iaetawon might have something. I got a lot of my sweaters on sale last year at Giordonos xxl I think they would fit you but you'd probably have to pay full price for them now. I bought some nice sweaters at Iaetawon also but the shop seems to have changed owners or maybe I need to look harder... Ask your better half at school to do a search in the yellow pages or on the web in Korean for a erm...ahh..."big man" store....

Also, for your big clunky feet Orange outlet in Yon-In has Columbia hiking shoes in 5 styles at 60% off regular price in size 12 w I picked up a nice pair this weekend for 47,000...these shoes sell for 120,000 at regular Columbia stores.

Try LL Bean or Lands End online shopping. They have very quick delivery, good prices, and shipping price is $30 for every $100 spent. They have tall sizes, and they're prices are a lot cheaper than crappier stuff in Itaewon.

Yeah, go w/ lands end. They have long sizes and you can get your order "air shipped" in 2 - 4 weeks 15$

Let me know I might get a couple cardigans as well and we can combine our order and save some cash on shipping.

Dude, you took the words outta my mouth. I too often wondered what Darwin, Leaky etc. would have thought about good ole grunting, snorting, spitting, squatting, staring ajoshi. Not exactly the highest form of cultured humanity, is he. How can the hot chics in Korea be in any way related to these cavemen?

As for long-sleeved shirts, Itaewon has everything.
