I'm in Seoul for the a few days and was wondering where to go to buy bigger sized pants, size 40 x 32?

I tried Itaewon today but they were all gangsta looking so that's not an option. I was thinking of checking out Dongdaemun market tomorrow, are there any pants there?

Thoughts!?

No, 46 X 32 one year ago when I arrived was a tent. - 22 Kilos later I do not consider that to be a tent, albeit still big, but not a tent.

BTW, you feeling like an ass today? Perhaps it's the dust in the your head! Twisted Evil

No I just bought a 44 by mistake once...I actually put it on over my head and could fit my body through one pant leg. It was strange.

I never seen sizes over 36 at Costco, but I could be wrong.
I doubt they have 40 or 40+ at Dongdaemun..
Maybe going back to Itaewon might be the best option. I'm sure you can find something in the shops there that ain't ganster.

My co-teacher was saying that e-mart has bigger sizes. I don't know how big though.

The bigger ajeoshi have to get them somewhere. Doota in Dongdaemun might be helpful as well.

At costco? Kool
I remember now that there are some slacks & jeans at emart that are 38, maybe 40, it's been awhile since I did clothes shopping there.
Maybe the big department stores like Doota & Cerestar in Dongdaemun have big sizes but I usually don't see anything that big there.

Ignore them. Good job on losing the weight--I went from 42 to 32 in a year, so I know how tough it is.

As previously suggested, why not get them made in Itaewon? I haven't had it done, but a lot of people tell me the quality is very good, and you can't beat the price. That's if you want slacks. If you're looking for non-ghetto looking jeans, that might be a problem.
