I'm looking to buy some new clothes. Not dress clothes but casual clother maybe some t-shirts.

Where is the best place to buy the X clothes. Not one X not two X but three X. That's right in Canada I wore a 3X. Anyone know a place or am I _hit out of luck until I get back to Canada or drop the baby fat.

You are SOL. There are some big men stores in Iteawon that have a few good items but they are expensive. I went to a big mens place in Ilsan, it was expensive and the clothes are extra preppy. Buy online and have the items mailed here.

I am just an xxl large but this where I do a lot of online shopping. And it is quite a deal right now as summer is closing out. The normal eddie site is also quite good for shopping.

T-shirts are not that expensive in Itaewon....I can usually find a t-shirt for around 10,000 won...

XXX?! Damn but yer a biggun huh? First stop. Department store. Second stop, tailor. Have them cut and stitch the bedsheets you bought at the first stop...
Ok, not really funny. Sorry. Like one of the stupid "hows the weather up there" jokes for tall people.

I remember there used to be a XXX shop in itaewon. Near the bottom, maybe in the alley beside Mcdo. I have no idea what the prices were though.

I really can't remember what the shipping costs were...so they couldn't have been too bad...

Just make sure that the whole thing purchase and shipping stays under 150 US...this way you will avoid paying duty. Or have it ship to someone in your home country and have them repackage it.

Ironic that the big guy shop is next to a fast food restaurant. Kill two birds with one stone.

Well, perhaps this isn't useful for the immediate future, but should you vacation in Thailand, having clothes made there can be so cheap ...same with the Philippines. Maybe even in the market areas of Korea...not cheap, but reasonable.

Itaewon's got some spots with 3XL...try the last alley on the left before The Athletes Foot store...

Songtan has shops with XXXL shirts and large jeans, too. It's right outside the Osan Air Base (kinda an "Itaewon" area, but not as skanky). It'll be about an hour out of Seoul to get there, but I would buy my brother shirts and mail them home.

Good luck!

Texas st in Busan also has a fine array of hippity hop-ish gear for the larger gentleman. This is why my friends think I am pimping myself out as an extra in JZ filmclips whenever I go back home.
