Husky/plus sizes for boys pants worth it?

Anonymous
Former DC resident here. My youngest son 11. He's a broad build and has a huge butt and thighs that makes pants-shopping a chore. He can't keep going up to men's sizes because of the length (he's 5'1, 110lbs). We tried a pair from Land's End that ended up ripping.
Does anyone have a positive experience of any brands that do sizes for bigger boys.

At 5’1 he can do men’s. My kids needed husky sizes and we mostly bought from children’s place and old navy.

Husky does fit well. The same size in husky gives you that extra few inches for comfort. Gap, Old Navy. I'm surprised the Lands End pair you got ripped. We've had great luck with them.

I find that it is worth it to look at the size charts and actually measure the kid.

Usually 28 is the shortest though.

Target has a good selection and have never had a problem. Gap might have some with reinforced knees if that's the problem area.

Yes, Old Navy for us. They have some that come in plus and get the ones called 360 stretch or something like that.

My nephew wore husky at that age and we used to get Gap, Children’s Place, Old Navy, OshKosh(they only went up to 14 husky), and JC Penney. JC Penney and Gap were also good for shirts because they have(or had) husky sizing for a selection of their shirts as well.

My son is 16 and 6’4”, 240 pounds (football player). He wears golf shorts and pants. The stretchy material is a game changer.

I just googled boys husky pants. Kohls and JC Penny’s offers them too.

+1. Any athletic pant material with stretch. We always find them online. DS wore Husky until switching to mens in middle school. Searching golf pants will give you a good start.
