Does anyone know where I can find a real robe in the Seoul or Incheon area?

LOL!

I'd like something nice, though. I'd like something long, for the colder months. Last year I just wore my robot flannel onsies (I can fit into large boys'-sized jams Embarassed) to stay warm, but I'd really prefer a warm robe with silk and satin jams, even though the man thought the robots were cute.

I've seen what you're looking for [NYCGal] in Itaewon.

Seriously.

They have the kimono-style robes if you walk on the south end of the main street between Noksapyeong and Itaewon station, near McDonalds, you can't miss them. And they will be a lot less than Shinsaegae.

I got mine at E-mart two years ago. It's cotton Chenille, says Balmain on the pocket and was 18,000.

i got a robe that's similar to this in shanghai, china

well i'm a 6 foot tall dude and the robe is in like majestic black and red with stuff on the back, i'm not sure what. maybe a dragon? haven't worn it in a while

it's surprisingly warm
i wear it around the house mostly but since it's not cotton, it doesn't soak up water very well

only cost about $20 haha

Thanks all. I found a nice terrycloth one at New Core Outlet (I think that's the name of the shop) across from Shinsegae in Incheon.
