I live in a very small city, but I go in to Seoul every few months for a Costco run. I need to pick up a pair of jeans, and I'm wondering if they usually carry them at Costco. I'm not (that) fat, but I'm taller than the average Korean and a lot of the clothes I've seen at Costco here are Asian sizes. Does anyone know if they usually have any decent jeans at Costco that would fit? I don't really care what brand they are, I just want something comfortable that looks alright. I think I'm usually about a 34waist by 32leg.
Yes, I know I can check for myself, but as I'm a long way from Seoul, I usually head to Costco and then head straight back to Express Bus Terminal to catch a bus home. If they don't usually carry jeans my size there, I'll find another store first and then go to Costco. I just don't want to have to go looking for jeans after Costco when I'm carrying all my groceries.

Thanks

I'm pretty much the same size as you and I have found jeans that fit at Costco-- Kirkland brand and others (Wranglers/Levis, etc). BUT, there isn't a constant supply of them at all times-- it's like they get a container of a certain item and when it sells out, they may or may not replace it until the next wave. I've also found that different stores have different items at the same time-- The Sangbong store may have jeans, but the Yangjae sells training suits/sweats. Again, depends on how fast they sell out and how long they take to re-stock. VERY hit-or-miss.

If you live anywhere near Yeoju, check out the Yeoju Premium Outlet. The Levis store carries your size. Alternatively, check online malls. I would imagine a search like "(insert whatever brand of jeans) 34x32" should bring up a few listings.

Costco should have some sort of jeans your size. The size 34 is a big common. The question is will there be a supply and what kind. As mentioned above, things sell out. Very likely there will be something, just if it is Kirkland or Levi's or other is the question.

My advice is measure yourself and a pair of jeans with a measuring tape. Take with you so you can double check on sizes.

I wear a 34 length and can get stuff that fits at Zara. Have also picked up some Levis (36X34) at a regular store. Depends on the maker and the fit, but with your size, you shouldn't have a problem finding stuff in Seoul.
