If you know of anyplace that sells Western sized 2X or 3X knit shirts or dress shirts and 35-36" waist pants, please let me know.

Reminds me of the Russell Peters skit where the Chinese clothing store guy says, "Your waist is 34. You're too fat. Come back when you lose weight."

I buy all my wide-body clothes online through Eddie Bauer. You get super-fast delivery and you can usually Google a pretty decent EB online coupon.

35-36" (if its a non vanity size) shouldn't be an issue..that is around a 96 cm waist and you can find that at emart sometimes.
Otherwise head to dongdaemun. Doota has some random shops that sell western sizes. I got some nice 38" shorts there around a month or so ago.. I think it was on the 3rd floor. They used to have specifically western sizes in the basement but that has been spread out through the place.

a 3XL western shirt is hard.. a regular XL is a 3X or 2X Korean size, so you're looking at like a 5X or more I'm guessing and I can't say as I've ever seen it. Eddie bauer might be your only choice.

Even when you find Korean 5x they always end up too short, barely covering your vertical smile.
