In Itaewon. That's not hip-hop style. But relaxed fit so I dont have to worry about killing millions of sperm whenever I cross my legs.

My Levis are getting a little thread bare

There is a Levi's store in Iteawon halfway between Burger King and the Garrison, on the Burger King side of the street.

They should be able to set you up.

They have "western sizes".

Just a side note...

If you want some other western-sized clothes, I've found that the APM store in Dongdaemun has a "larger sizes" floor -- maybe on 6th or 7th.

I've found some nice Korean-style shirts there that actually fit, although I'm a lean 6'3" 99 kg guy. You have to hunt, though!

Prices?

I haven't bought anything in-country with two legs here (besides suit trousers and long underwear bottoms) since ... the last millennium. And I've always bought jeans on "the outside" because I thought they were cheaper back home. Maybe not though

The Harley Davidson store near Itaewon sells good quality jeans made in the USA that fit well--if you don't mind a Harley label on them.
