Quick question. How much would it cost to dry clean a winter jacket (woman) and how long would it take?

also getting the heel fixed on a pair of leather boots (woman) , any idea of the price and how good are those quys on the side of the road?

Cheers

If you are a guy, why do you want to know?

A coat - full length, wool - is about 15,000 won and it can take between 2-4 days.. it depends on the dry cleaner and what you ask.

Leather jackets are more expensive, as are fur, and other materials.

A short jacket is about 10,000 won.

Heels - depends. I had heels fixed in Gangnam once and it cost 25,000 won. The guys on the side of the road are the only guys. You won't get Mister Minit in Korea.

Daejeon is cheaper, I could get a pair of shoes fixed for 10,000 won.

Hey cheers tzechuk

I'm just asking for a friend that is coming from europe for a visit. She was just wondering whether to get it done back home or here. Apparently dry cleaning can take a looong time back in Belgium, and shoe repair is crazy expensive.

once again cheers for the help

Definitely MUCH cheaper here and quicker than anywhere in Europe.

Hi,

Shop around and eventually you'll get a good deal on both.

Kangnam seems a bit inflated. The last time I got shoes fixed in Daejeon it was 10,000 a pair but I have had it done for much less.
