Got to be soft and fleecy
Plain (ie no logos, stripes etc)
This sort of thing

They are out of stock in size 13-14 in M&S and Next. I've been traipsing round the shops for 2 days now (been to M&S, Next, even in desperation White Company £££s). I've looked at men's sizes in S but they are all too long and a bit old man-ish.

Grandma wants to buy one for my DS but I have to do the actual shopping part.

Is there anywhere online I should be looking? TIA if anyone can suggest anything.

Asda would be my first port of call.

If you're struggling to get one in his size, go a size up, dressing gowns are always great a size up because they are extra easy to wrap around, and last a lot longer as they grow, you won't regret it!

I had a navy one from Asda but does have a small z logo

Perhaps an oodie instead?!

Amazon have them. Get a womens one if you can't find a child's one. Should fit a 13 year old

My ds is 13 and I have looked all over for a plain dressing gown age 14-15, it's like they don't exist for teenage boys, I ended up buying a small size mens dressing gown from Tesco.

emmathedilemma · 20/12/2021 15:39

Have you tried Primark? Their small / xs mens are pretty small.

emmathedilemma · 20/12/2021 15:40

This looks soft and fluffy but there's only 1 left in a size small! tuclothing.sainsburys.co.uk/p/Charcoal-Grey-Borg-Dressing-Gown-/138991601-Grey?searchTerm=:newArrivals&searchProduct=

Dunelm mills so them , they are made out of their teddy bear fleece material .

uppidydoodah · 20/12/2021 15:42

Sainsburys have them.

nongnangning · 20/12/2021 15:57

Oh thank you so much everyone. Loads of ideas here. Just off to Google them all. Very much appreciated.

Yes it's as if mid-teens boys don't exist I totally agree.

These NY Threads ones look nice and soft.

Also thank you for the John Lewis link. These were out of stock last time I looked and have now come back!

I bought DS2 a small man's one when I had the same dilemma.

OneOfTheGrundys · 20/12/2021 17:57

Yes to the small man’s one. My 13yo is getting small of this:

After this thread I now know what an Oodie is! Which I did not before.

I pressed the button and bought the Next one that @oneofthegrundys linked, in a size XS, which I did not know they did until I clicked the link. On @kokokokokokokokoko's advice I should have got the S, but I will see how the XS turns out and swap it if need be.

Thank you very much again everyone.

I know you're already sorted, but I got a small man's from Matalan for ds hasn't arrived yet but was only £15 so I'm taking that as a win!

OneOfTheGrundys · 20/12/2021 22:44

Glad it’s all sorted. God forbid they go back to online learning but I remember last year we all got quite chilly in front of screens all day n January (old house, crap heating) so these might be the ticket.

Xmas Day morning. Coming back on to say: the XS man's dressing gown from Next is brilliant - this one. DS just opened it and put it on. He said: this is really nice and fluffy, put the hood up and did a rap dance. Thank you so much all again Xmas Smile - merry Xmas

Aww great news. Mine are in theirs and love them. Although when it came time to get dressed when the grandparents arrived they didn’t want to take them off!

hivemindneeded · 25/12/2021 22:59

DS2 has an XS men's Primark one in navy. It is so soft I nick it when he's not wearing it. It's several years old now and been washed loads but still silky soft.
