Any recommendations on stores?
Do they exist?

I've worn out most of the clothes I brought over, so I'm looking to pick up a good pair of jeans and a couple pairs of pants.

Cheapish, durable, long enough it's not going to look like capris on a 190cm guy, and a straight fit (or something close, just none of this skinny jean bullshit).

Can anyone point me in the right direction for something alone those lines?

Or would I have better luck just ordering from Amazon?

I feel your pain, but haven't found anything over 34" in length (and that is very rare) since coming here in 1996... Have to buy /order abroad....
or tailor made (expensive...)

SEARS. They just opened up shop at the new City Hall Extension in Seoul. Lee Dungarees, loose fit Levis, and even some Wranglers. I stocked up on very loose cotton boxers, Hanes tees, grey market condoms, and lots of body products.

a lot of jeans here are inexplicably long off the rack actually. even uniqlo has some pretty long jeans. i'm 186cm and i often times have issues with jeans being too long off the rack here.

Am I correct in assuming city hall extension is somewhere in the shopping area in the city hall subway station?

I didn't even know there was a shopping area, much less Sears size, near City Hall.
Nothing on the Sears international website about this. Love to hear more!

I am in the city hall area quite often and have never seen a Sears there....

Yo fellow tall-man! I am around 6'5'' and I wears the jeans from Uniqlo. You'll have to search around to find the right pair. (I probably tried on about 30 pairs of pants there - no joke!) However, I left and remain very satisfied.

Good hunting!
