any recommendations on places to buy some men
casual clothes.

i'm having some troubles.

i'm about 6' 2", thin, and have about a 36 inch leg length.

i've hit up Itaewon but am not into the hip hop fashions there.

thanks in advance.

What are you thinking of in terms of "casual" and "not hip-hip"? Jeans and t-shirts or more like khakis and polo shirts? If it's closer to the latter I would recommend getting something custom-made in Itaewon (I can recommend an excellent tailor if you like). If it's more like the former, I'd say take a trip to Dongdaemun, though I'm not sure exactly wherein you'd need to see.

I'm taller than you, and I found clothes in Itaewon, not hip hop. Look on the side opposite of Mcdonalds. There is a Nike store that has polo shirts, but there is a new store that is near the end, to the left of the Nike store, that has outlet clothes from many name brands. If you're 90kg or less, you shouldn't have a problem finding lots of clothes to fit you if you look around. Also consider ordering on the internet. Even from back home, you can get stuff quickly, and obviously a hell of a lot more selection.

It's a bit outside of Seoul, but Osan probably has the best selection of large size menswear shops in Korea. Think a little larger than Itaewon and lot less hip-hop.
