I got my son size 8 pants for school, today he tells me they are too tight ( seriously, he hasn't even worn them yet and we just bought them 3 weeks ago!) So my question is, what the heck size do I get him? 10 is way too big. 8 is too small please help, I only ever dealt with girl sizes up till now and have never had this problem! Thanks!

I've always dealt with this problem with DS. He is tall and lanky with small waist. Fortunately, more brands now have adjustable waistline with lots of styles you can choose from. Check JCP and WM and I'm sure you'll find something that'll fit him.

try husky pants..

lands end has them, gap, old navy, gymboree 9 I guess tend to be cut a bit bigger..

I think my son was in 8h from gap last year and now i tried 10 husky and they seem a little snug but i think if i go up to 12h they will be too too big.

I mean we would try loose fit, carpenter fit but in husky they were too big in legs. so we tried a straight fit in husky and they were fine, just needed to roll them like 2 times..

each season i have to order from all the stores to see what brand will fit him...

Granted is is only 5 and in kindergarten. he is like 49/50 in tall.

He is tall too and the length is "just" long enough on the 8. So if i go to a 10 they are long enough but huge looking in the waist / leg area...maybe a 10 slim? He likes boot cut, but that's just not going to work... he's about 4.5 feet and 70lbs

Tony Hawk brand @ Kohls also have adjustable waist, check it out if you receive the $10/$10 homemailer you can combine with the KC IPs plus 15 or 20 percent off store pass they come up with very often.

10 slim could work...

I get my son jeans from Old Navy, he is a regular height but super skinny so I get the slim which also have adjustable waist bands and I have to tighten them all the way even on the slim size!
