 |
|
Where is a good place for a good selection of Size 115 shirts and winter coats in Seoul? I guess this is XXL back west. 110 can kind of fit okay, but the arms are really short at that size.
Also looking for size 305mm, 310mm sneakers and or work shoes. Hmmm. |

Shirts and coats that size are very difficult to find
For shoes you should go to ABC mart or the Addidas, Reebock outlet stores as they stock large size shoes--
***Edited because SeoulNate and his entitled attitude were not happy
Don't listen to him about ABC Marts or other Discount stores

Shirts and coats that size are very difficult to find--you are competing with all the Korean women who have more free time on their hands than you and who need the same size for their relatives.
For shoes you should go to ABC mart or the aAddidas, Reebock outlet stores as they stock large size shoes--at a discount price as well. (I do not know how many they have in stock or all locations so you take your chances. Yeoju Premium outlet Addidas and Reebock are usually quite consistent with their stock of large size shoes.) |
... honestly I have no idea what to make of that rubbish reply. Terrible information.
For shirts and jackets those sizes your only real bet would be Itaewon, (there are a few XXL shops in the hamilton hotel and in and around there) or ordering online. Also, you can have them handmade at a million places around Seoul for a really good price if you are talking dress shirts and sport jackets.
This is especially true if you are taller because Korean clothes, as you already pointed out, have extremely short arms. This means that you will be looking for western brands. From time to time you can find XXL at Lotte and Sinsegae in western brands like Polo and whatnot, but the prices are not too hot imo.
For shoes. Again, Itaewon or order online. ABC mart and the other of it's ilk only carry up to 290 in many sizes, 300 in a few crappy styles, and only up to 280 in many popular athletic shoes. |

That is not a good thing to say when you advocate shopping at Itaewon where their prices are inflated for the western shopper. |

prices everywhere in Korea are inflated for the western shopper.
I'm simply saying Itaewon because XXL just doesnt exist in normal sizes in Korea. 110-115 can be had, but as the OP pointed out, the size is not good for anyone who is tall, or even moderately average height.
There simply isnt anywhere else to get those kind of clothes unless you are ordering online. |

You can get shirts, pants and coats tailored made but for the westerner that is Itaewon or any city that has an American military base.
It is a hit and miss opportunity but there are lots of out of the way re-sale outlets that have clothing that can fit tall people. It depends upon their stock on hand. |

115 is an XL back home..depending on the brand (walmart).. sometimes XXL. (aeropostale), as a couple examples.
You will find 115 at emart sometimes. Some of their locations have "big sizes". It used to be a separate section, now it's just mixed in. If you look around the shirts area you'll see some kinds of shirts have extra colored hangers. Uusally..hmm.. purple I think. If you look those will have 110 or 115 on them. They also have some larger size pants at those stores.. I think 98 and 102.
It's not everything they carry but usually a reasonable selection of a couple of items. In the summer you can get polo shirts, and light pants, and year round you can get weather appropriate jackets in larger sizes. I think right now they have some long sleeved shirts in larger sizes and business casual pants. |

Thiessen again STFU!!!!!! you are an idiot who doesn't know squat, I'm surprised the mods haven't banned you yet here again.
To the OP, I'm a 115 shirt size and a 300 shoe size and even in Itaewon it was hard to find stuff, sometimes the Nike Store on the north side of street had stuff, there are a couple of big size stores but again stuff was hit or miss there, shoes unless you get a pair custom made you are pretty much SOL. Outside of Itaewon, forget it
best best would be ordering online just keep it under $120 or so or find a friend on base with an APO address to send it to |

Shop online.
If the seller in the US refuses ship directly to South Korea, do what Koreans always do - use a forwarding company.
Extra shipping & handling cost may irritate you, but you negate some of it by using retailers offering free delivery within CONUS and by saving your time and legwork. |

| I don't like shopping online too much, especially for clothes. The good news is that there is a Shinsaege Outlet Mall in Paju near the English village that has a lot of foreign brand name stores (Polo, Brooks Brothers, Tommy Hilfiger, to name a few). Not only are the prices comparable to those in the West (and actually sometimes cheaper), but they carry larger sizes, too! I got a couple of Polo shirts in my size (US XXL) for about 35,000 won each. A good deal, I'd say. The only thing is that you pretty much need a car to get to the mall, but it's still worth checking out if possible. |

This "big size" website has elf-like models wearing clothes too tight for even them.
I don't have a point, just really odd marketing for a big size online mall. |
