mommyx3 Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Help! I am searching for back to school pants for my ds. He is very tall, but very skinny. Size 8's fall off him, but are too short. So, I can't imagine what bumping him to a size 10 would do. With the 8's we got adjustable waistbands, so I imagine that what I will need is a good deal on size 9's with adjustable waistbands. No problem, right! Thanks for any help you may be able to offer.
angelic680 Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 (edited) My little brother is the same way.....Check the out below Old Navy!! I think then call them elasticized-Waist now also check to see if they have them in Tall. http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=677961002&userSearchText=Elasticized-Waist&searchCID=26519&vid=1 The Gap too.... http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=255153002&tid=gosp1r&kwid=1&ap=7 Also try sears. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_040S0905000P?keyword=elasticized-waist+jeans Edited August 1, 2009 by angelic680
dealluvr Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 (edited) he might be right in style then just get him a belt and most the kids pants are falling off anyway just get some cool looking boxers these are what you needhttp://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?_DARGS=/cabelas/en/common/catalog/item-link.jsp_A&_DAV=cat21404_ntw1&id=0066158902506a&navCount=0&podId=0066158&parentId=cat600428&masterpathid=&navAction=push&catalogCode=OG&rid=&parentType=index&indexId=cat601233&hasJS=true Edited August 1, 2009 by dealluvr add
natasha Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 They don't make a size 9 for boys, but a 10 slim would probably fit him.
amyers12345 Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 There is only one brand that makes a boys' size 9 and I can't remember what it is. We always have to buy 10 slims with an adjustable waist. Old Navy, Lee, Gap all make them. There is a huge difference between an 8 and a 10, especially lengthwise. But, I think an 8 and 10 slim are the same size waist.
scrabbler Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Unfortunately, taking him shopping or buying several different brands are your best option. I had a similar issue and still take my kids to several stores to find the brand that fits them the best. And it doesn't matter if one brand fits one year as they change the cut. I know this year my dd and I had to go to several places to find a good fit. One place stopped carrying the cut that fit her. Slim are probably the way to go along with the adjustable waists. But keep trying different places too. Although Gap and Old Navy are owned by the same company, their cuts are a bit different.
heatherbade Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 when my son was this size he was in sears canyon river blues. then graduated to walmart and now kohl's urban pipeline. His measurements were funky.
mommyx3 Posted August 3, 2009 Author Posted August 3, 2009 Thanks to those who suggested Old Navy. I wound up buying 10's as the ARizona Jeans in a size 9 at JCP didn't have adjustable waists. Old Navy was running a weekend special w/an extra 30% off here so we wound up getting 4 pairs of jeans for $41 including tax! I was very happy!
sdwilliams96 Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 My oldest ds is the same way. Levi's make a size 9 (slim) with the adj waist. We got them last year at JCP.
