Trying to find a close-out price on a western-sized coat. Every place seems to sell the same cheap Chinese junk made with thin material, thin thread, and a quarter of the down, relabeled for their store brand. And in sizes 105 or below. I am a 120 to 130.

I think you'll have a really hard time finding that size in the average store.

If you're comfortable shopping for clothes online:

If you are close to Yeoju then the premium outlet shopping center could be an option.

Not much left out there. North Face in Itaewon only had smaller coats. Found Soul Train, and they had some that fit. Not my favorite style or color, but at least something fit.

The fat Korean I know who dresses not too shabbily shops online. It's cheaper too.

My husband's 6'4" and not rail thin, so I ordered his on Amazon. I could have had it made at a tailor, but it would have taken more time, and I found a really good price on a nice Kenneth Cole coat.

Costco was closed on Sunday and when it reopened on Monday there were coats and jackets in the part of the store that once held the holiday gift sets. Take a look there, if you have a membership.

eddiebauer.com and landsend.com both would have their winter coats on sale...

I have always found good off-season deals with them and they have reasonable shipping to Korea.
