uniform help: button less trousers for boys?


Recommended Posts

Hi another school one from me.


My son still struggles with buttons on his trousers so I was wondering if anyone know of any trousers I can get with elasticated waist for the first year? They need to be black and he is not allowed joggers apart from PE.


He is also very tall for his age and typically wear 6-7 yrs old in clothes, would elasticated trousers go up that far in age? Any pointers would be most welcome, Thanks

John Lewis school trousers have the metal hook on the front which my son finds much easier. Although given they're elasticated at the back you don't actually need to unfasten them. Also think that Sansburys had elasticated ones with no fasteners last year.

A quick update on this in case there are other parents out there in the same boat. We have tried a few trousers now and it seems like the ones with the clasps are favourites so far. The zip/clasp was easier for him to manage than pulling up and down rather tight elasticated trousers....who knew?


We got some elasticated ones from M&S and they are going back as he finds them too tight but he likes the John Lewis and Sainsburys ones.


He is tall so is typically in 6-7 yrs old clothes by which time most seem to have stopped the elasticated waist (typically goes up to 4-5 yrs). Turns out it didn't matter as much as I thought as he easily managed the clasp and even preferred them.

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
