Boys branded joggers for v tall, skinny teen!

Hi all
we have a very tall, but also v skinny 13 year old. He lives in joggers. Mostly Nike, Adidas, under armour.
Im finding there’s not that much difference in the leg length between men’s small & medium. The waist of the medium is enormous on him!
Anyone in a similar position? Any brands you’d recommend? Even any unbranded, own label?

Thanks in advance.

Unbranded, ds wears Next active joggers in men's small tall. I think ASOS or Next may have some branded tall ones too, but ds isn't worried about that.
The next website is annoying as you can't always pick up their tall/ extra long through the tall filter, sometimes you have to go into items and look at the size drop down.
Similarly asos sometimes body fit tall is enough, sometimes you need to filter by size small long or small and 34 leg

I bought my 15 year old DS some adidas joggers from the adidas website and they are a great fit on him, and he loves them! They do XS which is a 27 inch waist I think. They also come in ‘tall’ for people over 6’2”

DS has a 26 inch waist and he’s 5’7”. I mostly buy his clothes from Next as their XS men seems to be the best fit. I find I have to buy everything online though as stores don’t seem to carry the 26 inch trousers but I do find some great deals in the sales! Next also do a lot of different brands these days too. Just filter for XS/S.

Just ordered some from Next.

Cheaper than branded plus I’m boycotting Nike.

Our 14yo is a skinny 6ft 2 and is fine in small Men sizing for joggers. I buy most stuff from ASOS now as it has a great selection of brands and non brands and they tell you the height of the model which is helpful. He’s getting broader across the chest so is a medium for tops now

I've just come across this while searching for longer fit joggers. My 12 Yr old son is just about outgrowing his age 15-16 Adidas joggers - the only ones he's had that fit well because he's so skinny. If you found any particular that worked please let me know! I dread looking now!

Hello @Gem26gem
i opted for Next long length which were great but my BFG keeps growing! He’s now a very tall 16 year old & I’ve just ordered him some adidas (longer length)
I’ll let you know when they arrive.

Were the next ones men's? I used to get next longer length kids ones. Its a nightmare isn't it finding ones to fit waist & leg!
