But good old Next and M&S are all out of stock in his size.
He's a small 14 year old in height but he's stocky so can't wear skinny leg trousers.
Any ideas please for where else to try?
TIA

Asda?? Not top quality but I guess it depends what it's for. Otherwise, H&M maybe.

Next do have a lovely pastel blue set left in older size , but if that's too out there for him, Debenham's occasion wear section has a lovely boys ted baker navy suit in all ages.

My ds is stocky and of a similar age and we traipsed all round the high street to find something suitable. In the end I suggested BHS and he made a face and said he wouldn't go into a 'granny shop'. I managed to persuade him to have a quick look and lo and behold we found the perfect suit in just the shade of blue that he wanted. They do trousers in a short length too.

We did well in Burtons sale for DS, a few Junes ago. He was a very thin beanpole.

Otherwise, our local gents outfitters/school uniform suppliers would have something, but it would be 'affordable' but not cheap.

Thanks everyone.
We think based on size guides we need to order age 13 and unfortunately Debenhams don't have only trousers to match the jackets (not according to my search anyway.)
Asda on line have nothing. Top man trousers come up to narrow round the thigh.
I'm off to check out BHS and if not it'll be the uniform shop tomorrow.
