Advice on finding jeans

11 replies

Lou898 · 26/01/2018 23:53

I have a 13yo boy whose tall ie in age14/15 length but is very slim. I’m struggling to find him a pair of jeans to fit. I’ve tried the adjustable waist ones but have to take them in so much they end up looking ridiculously bunched up.
Any advice on where to shop for suitable ones?

Any help appreciated.

I have a 14 year old beanpole! Gap was a success for us.

Ds(13) buys jeans from gents section in river island. He’s a 28” waist and 32” leg!

Yep, definitely River Island. Have got 26” waist 34“ leg for my tall DS age 12

H&M

I buy ladies jeans for my son. Size 6 34" leg. They are slightly to big around the waist but none of that bunching up with adjustable waist bands.

Forgot to say. Best ones I have found for my son are Primark! £8 a pair!

Thank you for your replies. I’ll take him shopping to those suggested. Not tried river island so that’s definitely one to try. I did used to buy from Primary when he was younger but children’s sizes got too short and I just assumed adult ones would be too big but maybe I should take a look.

I second River Island! 13yo DS is too tall for kids' clothes but is a slim boy, so the 26ins waist skinnies fit him well.

I couldn't find such a small waist in other men's shops.

Second for Primark men's jeans too. Have bought them there for skinny DS since he was about 13 years as you can buy 28" with different lengths. Often still need a belt too though.

Next mens super skinnies. (Start at 26" and comes in different leg lengths. )

SquirmOfEels · 04/02/2018 21:42

Uniqlo is a possibility, though they start at 28 (not 26) but a lot of styles are skinny or slim fit and go to 34 length
