Ds is 14 and 6ft 2". Can't get jeans to fit. He can manage a 28" waist-very belted in, but these don't seem to come in longer length?

Where can I get anything that fits him?

Do they do long length there? I know H&M are pretty good, but I wish they did online. I do not relish the prospect of an adolescent battle in H&M.......

don't know about really long ones - did you try Next online?

LittleWonder · 07/03/2008 20:38

oops - just had a look at them because a friend mentioned them today - but no good. If you measure him you can get him some wild skinny jeans from girls' shops - just don't tell him! My DD buys them for DS - he has yellow, pink, red, gree, blue, black and white... he is skinny as a rake and about 5ft 6

How about Gap - they do skinny fit and long lengths.

topshop (girls bit) do skinnies from 24in waist and do long leg length (moto ones)

He won't wear girls jeans unfortunately.......no way.

Gap is a possible, do they do small waist sizes?

Topshop girls is the way to go.

nancy75 · 07/03/2008 21:57

buy them for him and dont tell him they are girls. keep the rcpt if they are wrong take them back!

But he would realise as the bit of material which covers the zip (I'm sure that bit has a name!) is on the left for a boy and right for a girl.

nancy75 · 07/03/2008 22:11

most jeans zip the same way

Psychomum5 · 07/03/2008 22:13

Gap.......

AFAIK, they do them in mens and certainly in womens.

no idea about other shops tho.

I'm not sure thy do zip the same way, but I think I my try this in desperation....as of course he won't wear Gap, as I have just discovered it stands for Gay and Proud apparently ....according to him anyway....

fizzbuzz - have a look at this site they do very small waisted unisex jeans.

Have bought the criminal damage jeans for both dd and stepson (12 and 20 respectively) and they love them. Also have noticed they have some Lee jeans in 26 and 28 on sale. It's a good site and I use it a lot (my two love it)

Yes, it does look good....except none of the 26" waists I have looked at have a leg length as well. Does it say how long they are anywhere?

levis do a girls skinny fit in a 2634, the zip is definately the same for guys and girls, all of the guys that work in the levis shops wear the girls style as it is skinnier in the leg. they are slightly more expensive than gap (about £60-£70) but they are better quality. the style number is 571, if you buy them and he doesnt like them they give full refunds

£70.00 They would be great if he had stopped growing, but he seems to be growing about 3 foot a month.

I am going to investigate that website further I think, and also Ebay. He can't werar them too skinny as he really is skinny, his legs are soooo thin they would look like liquorice sticks in black ones!!!!

Thanks for all help.
