I need to pick up a suit and/or sport coat, and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good store for bigger sizes. I'm 6'2", 250 and built like a linebacker (big shoulders), so it's been difficult to find what I need in my smaller city. I tried a few tailors in Nampo-dong, but they were really expensive (trying to stay under 300K). Can anyone recommend some stores/neighborhoods to try in Busan? Apologies if this has been posted before, but I've been googling and haven't found much info. Thanks!

I had good luck with a tailor behind the back gate of old Camp Hialeah, called Victory Tailor.

The tailor speaks perfect English and did a good job. Decent fabric selection for suits and shirts.

Years ago, 300,000 won was enough for one jacket and two pants. These days, I don't know if you would get two pants for that budget. Shirts used to be 25,000 won each.

Good luck
