My 15 year old son is currently wearing trousers that are 28L but he now needs longer. Where can I buy these? Thanks

I'd also love to know..my son is 6'4" but as skinny as a rake and trying to find suitable school trousers is a nightmare!

My son is 19 now but when he needed school trousers, I found Asda were the best for his skinny, long legs.

Look online. John Lewis, next etc all do long trousers.

A friend buys men’s next trousers. They do skinnier sizes online.

M & S do 'big and tall' trousers I buy 32" 35" for my lad - he is only a 30" wasit at best so wears a belt. To be honest the 32" isn't that awful so probably more like a 31 if thats possible, but the length really good and not bank breaking at £20

River Island have extra long trousers - if you're lucky you'll find a 20% off voucher floating around. Stevensons school outfitter have very slim sizes too.

Scratch river island. They are out of stock. You could try these. www.asos.com/asos/asos-skinny-cropped-smart-trousers-in-black/prd/8491304?clr=black&SearchQuery=&cid=14052&gridcolumn=2&gridrow=2&gridsize=4&pge=1&pgesize=72&totalstyles=50
I know it says cropped but it also says that they are 28W 34L and they are the same trousers as their long black trousers.

Next online, not in stores, do XLong plain black trousers in skinny fit but the waist sizes would prob be too large (from 32")

Can you let hem down on current trousers???

Fairylea · 23/05/2018 08:28

Next men’s used to do a smaller waist (my husband was a 28-30 when I met him many years ago (!) and used to buy his work trousers there). Might be worth a look.

JoffreyMonfrere · 23/05/2018 08:31

Also ASOS have a Tall range for men but they seem to start at 30" waist....

Krazipan these are for your 6 foot 4 ds
www.2tall.com/school/carabou-essentials-tall-trousers-black.html
They come in navy and grey if your school’s trouser colour isn’t black
They are expensive for school trousers compared to what you could get for an average sized child but I guess you already know tall people pay a massive premium for clothing.

Thanks @ScattyCharley, I'll have a look, I don't mind paying a bit more as long as they fit...his trousers are currently flapping around his ankles!
