Does anyone know of a big-tall store in Seoul, preferably in Lotte World or COEX? My bf's bag was lost and he needs clothes ASAP for a meeting tomorrow. He's not familiar Korea at all so exact directions is much appreciated! Thank you!

Go to the Itaewon underground shopping center. That might be the only place you will find in Korea that has large and tall pants. There is a Kiosk for pants for foriegners there.

Itaewon ... it'll be a problem because it's practically his 1st time in Seoul. It's practically his first time in Korea and he's alone!

He wears a 38 x 34 (or 32) pants and XXL shirt. I sweater would do, is it possible to buy that in any shops in Seoul?

Has anyone had any luck asking a hotel concierge about finding clothes at Itaewon for them? Do they even do that?

Get to Line 6 (brown line) and go to ITAEWON
get off at exit 4 and walk straight. there should be tons of clothes hawks and tailors ready to "dress" him.

Rae, why don't you help your BF out and give a tour when you finish work?

It'll be hard to show him around given that I'm in Sweden. But thanks for the directions!

If he does find a tailor, he will want to say it is an emergency and can they do it that day. Chances are he will have to pay alot more for this service. But if he is in a bind, what can ya do?

Then that's probably the most accessible place for him to go. He shouldn't have trouble there.

I think it's a lost cause. He just got to his hotel room and tired as all hell from the flight and talking about washing his underwear in the sink. LOL! He's gonna stroll up in the meeting in jeans and apologize a few times. What a way to spend a birthday Sad
