How difficult (easy) is it to find "teaching clothes" (semi formal) for individuals in the 6.2 (1.87) range in Korea, and are the prices cheaper there compared with N.America and Europe?

In Taiwan, ghost had no trouble finding stuff in that range, but was wondering whether Korea was the same?

Ghost noticed that Koreans seem to be taller and more well built compared with Chinese and Taiwanese...(look at the guys on the Korea soccer team....pretty 'big guys' many seem to be around 6feet tall...)

Don't want to bring a whole load of stuff over, but would rather buy a few "dress shirts" and pants in Korea, and maybe also black shoes.

Dimensions of teacher in question: 6.2/160 pounds (1.87/73 kilos), shoe size - 11 U.S.

Thanks for any feedback you may have.

ghost may be restricted to shopping for ghost-sized clothes and shoes in Itaewon.

I regularly see guys 5'10-6', so I'm guessing you'll be okay. You might want to specify in the thread that you're asking about clothes for tall MEN, not ''tall people.'' It's a totally different story for 6' tall women here, believe me.

Well, i'm hung like a shetland pony and i've had no probs. So the ghost will be fine.

Good dress clothes for large people is hard to come by. I get my shoes in the mail. There are big shoes here butt hey are pretty ugly. Casual wear the same. I did find a large-tall mens store that has pre cut suits for big men at half the price against a custom tailor.
