Triggered by the news of BhS going into administration...
DS (15) has the proportions of a stick of bamboo, and unusually long legs for his height. He is also still growing rapidly.
His current school trousers (which pass muster as looking sufficiently similar to the actual school uniform trousers while being sold in a size that fits him) are BhS Longer Length Slim Fit in age 15. They are 34" (86 cm) inside leg, and 30" waist but with button elastic to pull it up to his 27" actual size.
For next year, he will need 36" (90 / 91 cm) inside leg. Even the BhS range, like the M&S and Trutex ranges, plateau out at 34" (86 cm) inside leg - the age 16 ones simply have a larger waist for the same length.
So, please, can anyone recommend any manufacturer, shop or website which sells plain black, preferably flat front, school trousers in either:
- 28" waist, 36" inside leg, non adjustable waist (I suspect these might be unicorn dust) OR
- 30" waist, 36" inside leg, with an adjustable waist OR (though this is a last resort)
- 32" waist, 36" inside leg adjustable (since the elasticated bloomers look round the waist is very slightly preferable to having trouser hems that flap mid-calf)
