ds(12) in clothes sizing black hole

7 replies

I had two hours of hell this afternoon trying to find ds something he will deign to wear

He is currently wearing one pair of jeans, an ancient stripy polo shirt and occasionally a too-big (size XS) bomber-type jacket from Top Man

He's too big for most kids' ranges (or if they do stuff in his size there never seems to be any actually on the rails) but too small for adult clothes

According to ds he doesn't like logos, prints, surfy, skatey, emo or nerdy stuff - what he'd like to be wearing is Jack Wills/Abercrombie & Fitch type stuff, but thankfully for my bank balance he's still too small

Gap, Next, M&S, Boden, Fat Face have all been relegated to the totally uncool pile and thoroughly rejected

Any ideas where I could get something he might wear?? please??? I hate shopping at the best of times, but with ds in tow it's pure torture

top man do have xxs sizes.. not sure if that would work.. luckily have escaped the black hole with ds's and ds2 particular as he's in xs-s in topman.

ds is the same at 16, h and m is great

thanks - TopMan xxs too long in the body unfortunately

I had high hopes of H&M but we walked out of there with a twin-pack of long-sleeved t-shirts and er, nothing else ...
