Very long school trousers

DS is 6'5 and size 32 waist. In true DS style his school trousers have all ripped with a few weeks left of school. I have lost the will trying to find long trousers to fit him! Does one else have ideas where to look. Next and M&S only seem to do XX Long in large waist sizes. At this rate he will wearing cropped trousers.

You could try ASOS tall mens or 2tall.com

Trutex possibly? They do Senior boys sizes by waist and length. We've used them for DS.

Oh I was going to say m and s because my 11 year old is tall and skinny and they do age 12-13 but in extra long length. However, I’m guessing they don’t go up in ages when you are 6 foot 5. With just a few weeks to go can you sew the rips?

What colour and inside leg does he need? I find ASOS brilliant for very tall and skinny DS

In the end I found some in the oversized range in M&S that went down to a 32 waist. The leg on the XX long is 35 inch: so fingers crossed they fit! Thanks for replies I will keep the suggestions in mind for September, when I really hope he hasn't grown anymore

For future reference, I found asos men’s suit trousers in their tall range. He wore 32w, 38l

With that waist, I'd go to menswear, rather than school wear.
DS1 is under instruction to increase his waist size before he grows any more.... 24 inch waist, and 5'8...

Try Sturdy Kids on line.. My 16 year old DS is 6' 5 and I have the same problem. He's grown out of the longest school trousers available at M&S.

Sturdy Kids do school trousers up to a 37" leg but lots of waist sizes. And they're school trousers.

My ds is 6’7” with a 28” waist - the only place we’ve found to get clothes that fit is 2tall.com
