Not sure how long this has been available as I haven't seen it at my usual E-mart before. But I stopped in at the Omokgyo Emart and noticed a new section associated with the normal Daiz section. It was called "size-less". Terrible Konglish, but great news for those of us who are a size above the normal maximum size at Emart.

Previously e-mart sold pants to 96 and shirts to 105. The new size-less section sells several different styles of shirts, work pants and jeans.
Pants are sold in 98 and 102 sizes (this would cover you up to about a 40 for pants in NA) and shirts in 110 and 115.

I did notice that their 110 seems a little small compared to some other 110s.

They also were selling spring jackets, and t-shirts in these sizes. If you were a wal-mart XL back home you'll probably be covered now at E-mart. Pants are nice, thin for summer. They had long and short-sleeve shirts, with and without buttons and collars. Some of the shirts and pants were only around 15,9000W. With the more expensive pants being around 30000-35000W. Jeans were 20,000W I think. Work pants were long you'd need to get them adjusted.

I don't think this has made an appearance at my local e-mart yet, so if you have seen it at an e-mart near you, post the location for those always hunting for another place to buy bigger clothes.

Thanks for the tip. The more we share shopping info, the more money we all can save.

I have trouble getting even an XL to fit here. Although I am very thin like most Koreans, my height makes everything come up short - which is a deadly combo when your thin. Jackets are particularly a problem...

The problem is I have long limbs, so even the stuff that fits almost always comes up too short in the sleezes. It's hit and miss really.

Thanks for the info.

By the way, the frozen Italian pizzas at Emart are 5,900 won, bellissima!
