I'm 202cm (6'6) and I cannot find pants anywhere. I've been to Itaewon many times but all the big size shops but there tend more to width than to height. I'm fairly skinny, I have a 34 inch waist and am looking for a 34 inch leg. I need some pants that I can wear without pulling them down low and having the crotch get all bunched up when I sit down (It looks like I have a freakin hard on all the time... which is not bad in some very limited situations but in the vast majority of them its quite bad).

Right now I have 3 pairs of pants. I can't wear one because they're now too big (freaking unwanted weightloss), the other is a pair of old man jeans, and the other is a paid of kahki's that have suffered one stain too many and need to be thrown out. I'm getting some custom dress pants done now but I want a nice pair of jeans.

Unless Urkel pants somehow become all the rage in style within the next month or so i'm going to be in dire dire need. Please help me.

Sincerely,
man with no pants

I highly recommend this site: http://www.tailormade-jeanswear.com/

I bought two pairs of jeans from them last summer and they fit great.

I get all of my pants online. www.eddiebauer.com and www.llbean.com

6'3" and never bought pants in Korea.

Anywhere. Most off the rack pants will fit you uncuffed if you are 6'6". I'm 6'3" and have to hem them, so you should be fine. Sure maybe a little short, but at six and a half feet tall how often do your clothes fit? Of course I am refering to Korean dress pants. Jeans and track pants are not things I wear so I don't know.

im not as tall as you but ive been having a seriously hard time finding clothes, too. but im looking for business casual stuff mostly, not jeans.

id much rather get things online because i hate shopping but ive been finding that most US stores wont ship here. i dont speak any korean so i was thinking today that i would try to find some austrailian online stores. ill post on here if i come up with anything.

I see tall Korean guys all the time, and I'm pretty tall, so you might wanna ask them

Gap store in Myeong-dong has jeans and khakis in 34in length. Prices range from ~50,000KRW ~ 100,000KRW. There's also a Gap in the Namdaemun Shinsaege department store that has the size you're looking for.

You've gotta be joking.. 34 length is not at all hard to find in Korea. I'm a bit shorter than you, but I seem to have longer legs.. I'm firmly a 36 inch leg. Try finding THAT in Koera. I have a few pairs of 34 inch pants... and let me tell you ... I really miss those two inches.

Being British I would take that as a very personal question. Which were you after the snoopy ones or the ones with 'beware of the beast' written on the front?

[bassexpander]

Unless I have a pair of dress pants made at Hamilton Tailors in Itaewon, I buy my pants at home when I visit.

i get mine at www.landsend.com and have them shipped. i also get pants made when i'm in thailand or vietnam, good stuff dirt cheap

I sometimes shop at Mark's and Spencer's. Many tall Koreans have told me that they have trouble finding clothes that fit as well. They shop here. There is one at Yongsan, and others scattered around the city. Good quality, often have sales, and a membership plan which offers discounts.

[PeteJB]

Wheres the one in Yongsan? Be interesting to see a Marks and Sparks all the way out here.
