I have looked in stores and on line and can’t seem to find any. I find regular and husky. Pulling a drawstring on regular sized pants to make them into slims defeats the purpose of an elastic waist, because then you have a NON-elastic string waist. Has any of you been able to find slim size sweatpants (sometimes called "knit pants")? (I’m looking for "big boy" sizes.) Another option would be a brand of sweatpants where the regular size fits slim kids.
The other thing I’m having trouble with is finding age-appropriate shirts. It seems like as soon as a boy grows out of toddler sizes the clothes makers assume the boy automatically stops liking shirts with cute animals and pictures of nature and starts liking only skateboards, electric guitars, and skulls/crossbones. What stores/brands carry/make clothes for middle elementary age boys that would actually appeal to them?
Last question: Does any clothes manufacturer still make long-sleeved tops with tight wrists? It seems like all modern shirts, sweatshirts, and jackets are made with enormous wrists that let the wind in. (Now I’m talking about clothes for boys, girls, and women. And by "tight" I don’t mean uncomfortable…I mean fitting close to the skin without buttons…like ribbed knit stretchy cotton wrists.)
If you could steer me toward any store(s) or brand(s) that have what I’m looking for, I would greatly appreciate it!
I’m adding this after seeing the first two responses: It is not I who am complaining about the designs on the shirts; it is my son. He is totally not into any of the stuff I mentioned. He either has or has seen shirts with an eagle, a moose, a field with deer in it, gymnastics shirts (his sport), and funny shirts. This is what he likes. I’m not going to ask him to change his personality and wear monster trucks and skulls when he’s into nature and humor. No one has ever made fun of him for wearing these kinds of shirts, and if anyone would, good riddance to them.
