Someone once posted a link to a Korean website with big size clothes, and I should have saved it, but I didn't. I looked at it at the time and the homepage showed a tall Korean guy wearing clothes two sizes too small, so I figured, forget that... But now I kind of like some of the Korean hiking fashion- the pants with a little stretch to them and zippers on the back pockets (usually black, sometimes brown). If that website had some 42 inch stuff, I might be interested.
Anyway, anyone know that Korean site that specialized in big person clothes?
Thanks,

I am also a big fan of Gmarket.
There was some Korean language only , clothes only, big-size only website. Much appreciation to anyone who can recall that website.
Thanks,

Well, you'd think with all the tall and even chubby Koreans walking around nowadays that they'd actually make clothes that fit people. Even the western brands sold here seem a bit off. I can fit into some, but for other people it makes no sense. Seems like many companies here are content to do things the way they did them 20 or 30 years ago. Go figure.

OK, here are two such places. Much better than gmarket. They both have stores in Seoul and I recommend a visit as sometimes the sizes can be a little odd. There used to be a chain of shops called lissom, but I don't know if they are still open;

njoyny.co.kr sometimes has pants to 42 size. They carry many western brands in western sizes. Not all of them go to larger sizes, so you'd have to scroll through.
