Denim shops in Seoul?

[thatkidpercy]

Hi

I arrived in Korea about a month ago and have been trying to find a decent place to pick up some new jeans, but haven't had much luck... does anybody know of a decent store in Seoul or the surrounding area (I'm in Gyeonggi-do) ?? I thought that owing to the close proximity to Japan the place would have a wide selection of denim bars and niche stores, like Tokyo or Osaka, but that doesn't seem to be the case..?!

I've stumbled across a few places that stock Evisu, but it's always their cheaper (non-selvedge, not sure of it's name) line. I'm not after anything really rare or premium - while Samurai, Skull etc. would be nice, brands like Evisu, Nudies, LVC are all okay by me.

There are a few threads already on Seoul but they're quite old and don't contain much useful info so hopefully someone will have something more up to date to offer?? Of course a weekend trip to Tokyo isn't gonna break the bank but I'd rather find somewhere local if possible.

Thanks

the seoul thread is pretty much all you need

dunno man, you might wanna try reading a thread before putting it down

Not sure if I missed something in that case... are you referring to this thread (Denim in Seoul)? Cos the last post there was more than 2 years ago....

Otherwise, this thread about Seoul has a lot of discussion about places to drink and party, but I couldn't find anything related to the topic I'm asking about - I searched the thread and even read through the last 50 pages of the 170 or so there.

Could you possibly point me in the right direction if you know where the info I'm looking for is? Thanks a lot.
