What's the best place to buy clothes online? I'm not looking for anything fancy or expensive, I guess Old Navy-like quality.

I'll give you 4 options for all your big and tall needs:

1. There's an underground market under the in front of where they are putting in the big tower in old downtown. They should have some stuff for you.

2. You can take a trip into Pusan to Texas Street, in front of Pusan Station, or go up to Seoul.

3. Do some internet shopping.

4. Hope a plane to some South-east Asian country and get a bunch of tailoring done.

That is all.

Is there some sort of defacto place everybody here goes to shop for clothes online, like play-asia is for video games?

Many Koreans use http://www.gmarket.co.kr/.
It's possible to get really good quality clothes for very cheap.
After people buy stuff they sometimes leave comments, so (if you understand Korean) you can get an idea whether the product is any good or not.
It's a huge site. The problem is that the English section is tiny. And I'm not sure how easy it is to set up an account if your not from Korea. I just started using it. I figured out how to search for what I want, check sizes and all that, but at the moment my girlfriend makes orders for me using her account.

Good luck!

Thanks for that.

Anybody else?

American Eagle delivers to Korea...So does Abercrombie and Fitch...

There's a Gap in Myeongdong, but they think that they're comparable to Ralph Lauren Polo in Korea and they charge too much, considering the cheapness of their quality.
