I need to get some new threads for the winter season. I am a guy and I am looking for the best mix of quality, style, and affordability.

Thanks

eBay and pay for the shipping. Also, a lot of on-line retailers now ship overseas. Do some searches on the Internet and you might find something to your liking that will ship to you here.

If you're a US/Canadian size medium, you might be able to find suits off the rack here. If you're a teacher, I wouldn't invest in a decent custom made job. Uniglo and the Gap are in Seoul now, but, again, mostly for sizes small-medium.

As long as you're not absurdly tall you shouldn't have a problem. I'm just over 6ft and rarely have a problem.

Anyway, for online shopping ASOS is great. Free shipping world wide with affordable and decent looking clothes. It's a fast-fashion type retailer so quality is similar to H&M and Zara.

In Korea, a lot of the international chains have what you're looking for (I assume). H&M, Zara, Uniqlo, Pull & Bear, Gap, Levis, etc have a pretty strong presence. Some of the Korean chains are pretty decent as well. Giordano and Tate are priced similarly and offer a similar style as the foreign brands.

The department stores also have a decent selection. Certain floors are all designer/ridiculously expensive stuff, but other floors have affordable brands.
