Thats it really, at a bit of a loss for DS.

XS and S men's sizes in Hollister & Uniqlo. They wash well, last forever and DSs think they are cool. Hollister sales are frequent. The clothes are pretty classic/plain.

Dd loves Jack Wills. Sorry to say but a bit classier than Hollister which is everywhere!

Is it? or is it Hollister rip offs? I see really ugly Hollister tee shirts all over the place on blokes who have no dress sense, with the brand emblazoned on them. But the ones I see in the shop are really tasteful with discreet little bird logos and as soft as a new-born's skin. I got converted when I realised how snugly they made the DC seem. Not tried Jack Wills but seen that emblazoned everywhere on yoofs of a certain age.

Animal and Abercrombie seem to be a hit with that age group.

Classy? Jack Wills?

Have you tried Zara small mens sizes?

Mr DS 13.5 is now in small men's from Primark ( who also do xs) River Island (ditto ) as he doesn't mind about the labels . Also surf brands go up to 16 Quiksilver etc . Got him PJ's in Burtins the other day in small and they're ok too . What about Johnnie B ? ( only get it in the sale )

How slight is he? My 13 year old went straight into men's Gap 28 inch waist (worn with a belt or short kinds of low slung) but he is kind of stocky/ muscular as the main problem with Gap kids was getting them round his thighs. The older one I find Next and Hollister better as they are narrower fit and Gap stuff was falling down.

My DSes once grown out of children's sizes aged about 13/14 then shopped at:

SuperDry
Hollister
Top Man
River Island
Jack Wills
