I'm getting fed up with buying boys vests that are too short in the body.Ds wears 5-6 years normally but i have even gone up to 7-8 year old ones in desparation but they swap him but are still too short i'm having a mare.
Where can i buy ones that can be tucked into his trousers and actually stay there without untucking within 5 mins of play?
Thanks.

I have had this problem with my DS. He is only 10 but very tall - in-fact he has always been out of his actual age group regarding clothing - and currently wears clothes for a 14-16 year old (depending on make).

I have found John Lewis good (nut you have to buy a good two sizes up) and Next are good as well - they seem to have a more realistic fit.

Good luck with your search - let me know if you find anything better than JL/Next. Grin

Will have a look at Next and John Lewis.

i had some from m&s which were quite long.

are you sure they untuck themselves tho? i regularly tuck ds1's in, but he stretches himself up so that they untuck because he doesn't like it!

So they don't get wee on them, natch.

I've always found this, but got some this year from M&S, and they are really long. They are fantastic.
