Boys' clothes - too tall for kids jeans, too skinny for adult jeans.

DS1 is 12, but 5ft 10, and all ribs and legs. Most children's ranges stop at age 14, so the trousers / jeans are too short. Most adult ranges start at waist size 30, so they're miles too wide.

All I want is a decent pair of jeans that will fit him for more than five minutes. He's grown out of H&M, Gap and M&S now. Where else can he get jeans or trousers?
Help!

Primark were good when ds was 28 waist and 32 leg I think their clothes are cut so skimpy sometimes lol.

School trousers we get the " extra value" from M&S ie the cheapies! They are slightly skimpy cut too so he has a 34/34 but he isn't a 43 waist in any other sizes!

Well Ive been told by New Look and Top Man, (really resent having to pay adult prices when hes going to grow out of them in a few months) to look at their websites and order from them or I was given to understand you can have them sent to you nearest shop.

My just turned 13 yr old is 5' 6', only a 6 1/2 shoe at the mo and has just started to fill out a bit.

All Saints jeans are fantastic for tall skinny boys. Not cheap though.
