Jeans for long legged v skinny teen

Hello,wondering if anyone has any suggestions as I'm desperately trying to find a pair of jeans/for my 15year old DS. He is extremely slim and tall 6'2! Until recently we've been buying from river island but even their longest length, is now too short. He's a 26 waist but we usually have to buy a 28 in order to get the length. Any suggestions welcome? Thank you

Topshop are good for being able to choose waist and leg length independently - had a quick look on the Topman website and you can get a 26L which is 26" waist and 34" leg. Not sure if that helps? They do a 36" leg (XL) but couldn't see that paired with a 26 waist.

I had the same problem as a teen - jeans that were the right leg length were much too big on the waist. Topshop were the only ones that ever fit properly.

We have the same problem. Just had school trousers made while we were in holiday in Vietnam as it is impossible to buy them. Ds most recent jeans / trousers are from uniqlo ( they do jeans with narrow waist and long legs) also got a pair of trousers in the Arquet sale but generally need to buy bigger waist to get longer leg

H&M have been good for DS, but he's not as tall as yours.
I definitely feel the pain, I almost wept the day I realised he had grown out of adjustable waist trousers Grin

I bought my very tall teenager’s jeans from Next - they do a range of lengths but I have to admit I don’t know what waist sizes they have. They are the only jeans I’ve found that had a 36” leg

Just looked - could only see a 30 waist in 34 leg and a 32 waist in x long which is 36. It isn’t easy to find - I feel your pain

Snap! 15 Yr old, 6ft 2 son (and a 6ft 6 husband) who struggle to get trousers. Jack Wills were good but are now too short, I think Next have a tall fitting, and also Uniqlo. DH buys stuff in the States (Gant does a 36 inch leg).....
