| Warning about Uniqlo jeans -- if you have the length cut/hemmed to a different length, which you have to do unless you happen to need one of the precut lengths (32? 34? I forget and the options may vary), note that they do not accept returns. |

| Old Navy and Gap do a 27” waist online. |

My skinny kid who was still wearing a youth under armour medium in shorts had good luck with
adidas Tiro track pants and sweat pants. They tend to run small in waist and have a drawstring. |

This seems like a reasonable (and obvious) policy… |

OP reporting back. Thank you everyone for the suggestions! I tried the Old Navy 26 x 28 jeans and they were too big in the waist (significantly) and too short! It's like he needs 24 x 30...
Still waiting on some of the joggers/elastic waist pants suggested. |

| OP again with a followup question... can I really send my 9th grader to high school in Childrens Place branded pants? I mean I guess the likelihood they'd be identified is slim but... |

They don’t have any labels on the outside so no one would know. |

Zara and H&M.
J crew slim fit is great, too. They also have skinny but my boys think thr legs look too tight |

| some of the usual stores have these small sizes in longer lengths, but you may have to order. |

My 8th grader wore the slim fit cargo pants from there all last year! No brand listed on them. No one said a word. |

| Try Uniqlo in Tyson Mall - they are Japanese company and their sizing runs on the slimmer side. He can try on and price point is good. |

| Oldnavy online has 26 and 28 waist men’s pants. |

OP here - as I said in my update, Old Navy 26 waist is still significantly too big. (And 28” inseam is too short.) |

Have you measured his waist? And does he like to wear his pants on the hips? My son is only 5'7 and 120 lbs, but he needs a 28 by 30, because he doesn't like the pants to sit on his natural waist. You can also just get a 28 x 30 and take them up (yourself or via a tailor). |

Plus this literally seems like the last of your concerns. Just cut the tag out of you or he is so hung up on the brand...? |
