I need to buy Reino some jeans. He's so thin that I'd prefer to get him some slimmer fitting jeans. Anyone know a brand that's good for skinny kids and where I can buy them?
What brand of jeans for a skinny boy?

Thanks, Cory. I'll take him to Junior this morning.

Lindex actually has had some slim sizes of boy's pants too. I've gotten some for William there.
Don't worry, it only feels kinky the first time....

I couldn't find the Busino brand at Junior but I did find some that fit him at Lindex. Thanks for the input!

I thought the flutter-pants-down-your-ass style was still alive. You mean 1980 carrots are making a comeback? Poor Reino's going to have a mullet perm next

Cheers, Hank W.

All of the girls pants at Zara have in belt adjustors for size. Maia's on the scrawny side too (like her chicken-legged father), so adjustable pants are a must. I would assume the boys jeans are the same.
I'd wait until after xmas to buy clothes, though. Then the sales hit and by the first week in January, you can get most at half off. Zara puts their clothes at 40% right off the bat after xmas.
Of course, I LOVE Zara's clothes - only store I buy from in Finland now for clothing.

The Lindex pants had the elastic straps. I hate to say this, but I usually buy everything he needs (except winter gear) in Texas. He just grew faster than I predicted and his Levi's are way too short.
