Slim fitting boy clothes

My 10 year old son is very slim built and I’m struggling to find clothes that fit him properly. He needs a new jacket and he tried some in Next today. He needs age 11 for the arm length and age 9 for the body! They were huge Shock. Any recommendations of good shops to try?

Also interested as my 12yo is very slim but tall.

Marks and Spencer jeans fit well but I've yet to find joggers or t-shirts that don't just hang there.

Yep - trousers aren’t too bad as they have adjustable waists. T shirts I just get a smaller size because the sleeves aren’t so noticeable. Jackets seem to be a nightmare. I’ll have a look at H & M, thanks.

I find Gap and Zara slim fitting.

Next do slim fit, Zara and the Gap.

Next are terrible for slimmer kids with narrow shoulders, everything has a really 'boxy' wide cut, even t-shirts. I agree Zara and H&M are better. I also sometimes buy from Vertbaudet for DS.
