Where to find extra long black boys' school trousers this year?

Not really style and beauty, but has anyone had any luck finding extra long (34”) black boys school trousers this year please? I usually buy the John Lewis ones but they don’t seem to be doing extra long this year, and the M&S ones are all skinny fit - which makes my very thin 16 year old look even twiggier! Any ideas appreciated as otherwise he’ll be going into 6th form in his old school uniform 😩

I got my son trousers from Simon jersey which is a workwear brand, they are unfinished so you can turn them up to whatever length you need.
they’re really good quality (with half lining) and I’ve been very impressed with them. They were £11/pair.

My son has just finished Y13. He is a 32” waist but is 6’ 7” tall. Since Y11 his experience of buying school trousers has been a nightmare and the Next long trousers are too short. A website called 2tall.com has been helpful - and they have a pair of cheap ish black school trousers on there (about £30) which have been the best option. They are a bit shiny but okay for school. No blazers to create a suit look for sixth form but he makes do with a long black blazer from Next (the one with the floral lining which is ubiquitous amongst sixth form boys round here).

He also sometimes manages to pick up jeans and casual trousers from Pull and Bear but he wears them quite low with big trainers!
