Tall boys’ clothes

Looking for help with finding clothes for my son. He’s just in his growth spurt, 6 foot 1ish but his legs are incredibly long and his waist is relatively small. Men’s large trousers drown him at the waist but sit above his ankles. Any advice on good brands with tall lengths, please? I’ve seen adidas but most trackies seems out of stock online. Anywhere else please? Also massive shoes… he’s currently 12. Where do you go after this size, please?! Thanks 🙏

My sons are a couple of inches shorter and wear jeans based on waist and length size eg Next or Levi's
I have noticed that Boohoo did joggers in regular and long size. My sons are a couple of inches shorter and wear regular length so I would try the long ones.

ASOS is brilliant for tall and slim, but Next online can be good for things like joggers in tall fit too. My ds is 6'5, so I feel your pain

Thank you. One of my friends also told me about 2tall.com which looks pretty good in case that’s helpful for you. 6 foot 5!! I’ll await that with much anticipation! 😂 thank you for messaging xx

My DH is 6'7 and lives in Next.

John Lewis trousers/chinos/jeans come in small waist sizes (adjustable also) and long inside leg.

Yep, Next, even for joggers!

River Island do jeans by waist size and length. DS2 was 26 waist, 34 leg at one point, and they catered for that.

My son was the same - thin and long legs. I got joggers/training pants from 2tall.com. Good quality and lasted for years.
Jack & Jones have cargo pants and jeans in a great variety of sizes and lengths (more choice on line) - but don’t have multiple leg lengths in joggers.
Boohoo - ordered cargo pants in the tall - they were very long - I’d say 36-38” leg!
Nike.com have Tall in some styles - it’s about 34 or 35” long in a medium-tall (c.32” waist).

Shoes - my son is now an 14…again Nike are very good for large sizes for trainers etc. Sports Direct can be good too. Checking out specialist big feet shops can be good to see what brands go up to the big shoes. Mustang; Vans etc. 2tall have shoes too.

Next, online.
They do "kids" clothes up to age 16.17, which are slimmer than men's. DS(14) wears them - 6'2" and only just beginning to fill out.

Regardless of height some people can have extremely long legs. Buy him a couple of good belts-they come in handy. Asos tall do 36’ and 38’ inside leg trousers, jeans and some joggers. Pay for yearly postage and you can order several items to try.

My son had some French Connection joggers from Asos which were 36’ inside leg. But sadly too short now.

He is now 6’6’ less than a 32’ waist and has some plain black joggers from 2Tall (they cater for slim men above 6’4’ with smaller waists) - he did want branded but we couldn’t find any, he has some Levi jeans (from ebay) and a pair of black jeans 38’ inside leg from ASOS Tall, he also suits from Slaters (they lengthened the sleeves on the jacket and trousers by letting down the hems free of charge).

Depending on your sons inside leg he may still be ok with ASOS tall, Burton mens if its still going and River island and won’t need 2 Tall just yet.
