Marks and Spencer rip off.
Just went to have a look at some jeans for my soon to be 15 year old son and they don't have any. The children's range stops a 14 and you then have to got to the adult section. That is is wrong, children get tax free clothing so we should be able to get them in the children's section. So wrong.

Tell me about it! Debenhams and H&M do up to age16 but I found everywhere else it was onto XS in the men's departments for my two eldest lads.

It's not right is it Emma, they are still children and have the right to tax free clothing. We should complain.

I agree with you, Wendy. Once lads hit 13 it's very difficult to find clothes for them in the children's section. My boys had slender builds at that age, so it makes me wonder how larger lads have got on. Quite possibly their parents are having to pay for adult sizes from a much younger age.

The same with Kian, he's always been a slim boy, had to buy the trousers with the adjustable waist. Now he's 5ft 7 it's getting really difficult so find anything to fit him. I've never had this problem before. The girls were easy to dress.

To be fair at 5ft 7 he is only about an inch shorter than my husband

It appears the government think a child is an adult by age 14 when it comes to clothes.
