 |
|
Anybody buy a suit from Parkland or any other similar place?
I have three suits. One I bought at E-Mart for about 500k won and the other two were a two for one price of 500k at a chain outlet. I had a Korean friend haggle for me. Individually the suits were priced at 320k but because we had cash on hand we got a deal.
Anyway, those two cheaper suits, while modern in cut seem to attract lint like crazy and I'd love to avoid that particular niggle in my next suit purchase. I see lots of sales posted at various outlets like Parkland right now and was wondering if you guys have some experience with them? |

If you have money like that to blow, you should just get your suits tailor made in Itaewon.
Hahn's is good but other places in Itaewon are good and cheaper. |

| Even in Busan you can find good tailors. Just ask around. |

What's a good price for a tailor-made suit in Itaewon? I'm thinking of getting one after payday.
If materials/design are a factor, I want 100% wool (not worsted) or wool/cashmere blend with single-breasted, small lapels and matching trousers. |

In Itaewon, Hahn's is really your best bet and you can expect to pay at least 450,000 won for a suit made with Korean fabric (pretty good quality). I'm not sure if you have many suits but if you don't have many, I would be careful with a wool/cashmere blend. If you know how to care for it, the blend can be quite nice but it does take a bit of extra care.
I've been to other places in Itaewon. Savile Row next to Hahn's is also decent and a bit cheaper. I have experience at a couple of other places in Itaewon but wouldn't recommend them.
The saying, "you get what you pay for" rings quite true. |

| You can get Zegna cloth from Hahn's but it'll cost more. |
