I have a friend in the states who requested a fleece blanket with the US Army emblem on it. He said they have it at a store in Itaewon. Looked all around today with no luck. Anyone know where I can get this?
Thanks!

im sure they have them, just need to check some more stores. I havent seen them personally, but I would imagine that they have them somewhere, you just havent found them yet

Did you find the army surplus store in the alley next to the "Itaewon Underground" area?

Yesterday was actually the first time I'd been to Itaewon during daylight hours. Where is this underground you're referring to?

It's around the McDonald's area... several basement shops and alleys jutting off on the same side of the road. Down one of those alleys -- about 20 to 50 meters off of the main street is the army junk place.

I have never seen them in Itaewon, but I know there were (last year) about a million shops selling them in Song-ton (the army base). Picked up a huge Red Sox one for about 20,000W.

Good luck

There are also tons of fleece blankets in that "underground" shopping area of Itaewon, but they have football teams on them. Not sure about US Army, but there might be...
