what are the sizes like for next boys clothing?

[jinglinggoblin]

i usuallu buy age 8 - 9 for ds but theres a thing i might want on ebay size 7 - 8. he needs about a 32" chest. have emailed seller but she couldnt find a tape measure to tell me what size it was! can anyone help please?

I always find that they're a bit on the larger side.

I find them small !

They always come up small for us but then ds is rather tall for his age.

I always find they come up bigger.

lol, 2 big, 2 small so far. any more?

it really depends on the build of your child. ds1 (8 1/2)is tall and skinny so finds 7-8 big enough, although i usually buy 8-9 to get more wear out of them, although only age 7 in trousers as they are long.

but ds2 (nearly 4) is tall but broad, rugby player build and i have to get him age 5-6 whereas in other stores, i buy 4-5.

hes very chunky, is only 6 but is both tall and broad. i think i will leave it, i just really wanted a waistcoat for xmas day and dont want to pay a fortune for a few hours wear!

thanks all for the help

George at Asda clothes are broad (IMO) and also pretty cheap?
