How tall is he? My 12 yr old is 5ft 9 and we buy in JD - he loves it there.

If he is larger around the waist, any of the sports shops, as sports gear has elasticated waist.

I hate taking things up.. but because im 4"11.. i just have to.. but i use special sticky tape which you just fold under and iron instead of sewing it.. Would that help at all?

I was 5ft 5 when I started secondary school and I remember my mum finding it a nightmare because all of the clothes designed for age 11 were far too short in the leg or far too wide in the middle. I sympathise with all of you.
