Hi there, am searching for jeans for my nephew. He has 34" legs and a 26" waist!! He is only 14 but 5'9" and growing with extra long legs!!
Any suggestions of shops that are good for skinny mens jeans or tall teen boys?
Thanks Smile

Primark but they are few and far between.

Toad is 5ft 8 and wearing a 34 leg at 13!

I find that next 28 long are Ok on my scarily skinny teen. he's over 6' and I haven't found and 26 waist ones he will wear. so many these days are skinny fit which look ridiculous on him so slim fit work better for him.

Thanks ladies! Will try all of those shops. I bought some skinny ones from asos but they were ridiculous - I agree straight leg are better...
Plannedshock - had a look on h&m website but could only find 28" waist - will try in store now though - thanks!

Try River Island and Topman. Can't quite remember if they do 26" but definitely do 28".
Then stick em on a hot wash and hope they don't shrink in the leg Grin

Burton long is around a 34 leg but I think a 28 waist is the smallest they do. They are never in the shops so go online.

Also try Next-also online.

Ds1 is a 28/34 and we gave up trying to get any from an actual shop long ago. He likes the skinny fit that look like they would cut off the circulation. Confused

River island do a 26" waist. D's is tall and skinny so gets his jeans there.

Gap has a good range for long legs. Not sure about such a slim waist. Tallest DS was able to wear 28" with belt for a while. He is now broader which does make shopping easier.

My friend is 6"7' and very skinny he buys his jeans from next or h&m because they are the only ones that fit properly.

I appreciate these are a 28/34 rather than a 26/34 but they are a very neat fit in my experience with my boys - both have a 34 leg but not as skinny as your nephew :)
