Hey guys. I'm a pretty big guy. not really fat, more I have thick shoulders that never fit any of these korean clothes. their XL doesn't even really fit me.

anyways... just curious if there are places I can get some shirts around incheon/seoul area other than Itaewon?
I live in bupyeong. All they have here is tiny twiggy-man clothes.

Nonsense.

I found a good shop in Itaewon yesterday and stocked up on nice long sleeve shirts for under W30,000. Pretty good selection.

I haven't been here more than a couple months, but I would imagine there are more than a few eBay vendors who will ship to Korea.

I would imagine there isn't.
Even though 90% of them are from hong kong, USA they usually get antsy about shipping to Asia.

Itaewon or Ansan.

Tailoring is also pretty inexpensive in this country if you are looking for something custom.
