I am wondering if anyone knows of any good clothing repair shops in Seoul. Here is the thing. I bought this really nice(and expensive) pair of Nike shorts a few years ago. I've used them when I've been swimming on many trips. However, the zippered pockets no longer close correctly and as a result, they no longer zip up. I really need those pockets because I store items in them(inside of a little plastic dive pack) whenever i go swimming or diving. They have been really convenient. So, I would hate to have to get rid of these pretty expensive shorts all because the zippers are screwed up. I know this is kind of an odd request, but it anyone could point me in the direction of a place that repairs these type of things, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

You'd be surprised what your local dry cleaners are capable of. I've had miracles worked with clothes that I thought were beyond repair by the little old lady down the street from my place. And if they can't work it out, they can usually point you in the right direction.

+1 for sure. they do it for cheap too, like 3 or 4,000 won. i've had zippers fixed, pants tailored, seams re sewed. good stuff.
