Clothing for 14 year old boy

Can anyone suggest where I can buy clothes for my boy. He is not a man!
I'm really struggling, children's ranges seem to go up to 12. Next do some stuff but he is slim and trousers are cut for sturdier kids.

Any suggestions internet or high street welcome?

    I get the D73 range from Matalan for mine.....they do small in everything & extra small in some things.

    Other than that its Republic / ministry of Design :)

    You have my sympathies, it's an awful age - for so many reasons including this. :)
    I think we used to find xs tshirts on this site:

    They have all been mentioned that I go to, Primark, Matalan, sometimes if the sale is really good Next but not often, peacocks, M&S are very good with accomodating all shapes and sizes:D

    Oh blimey, I hit this same problem just last week, when I realised DS was desperately in need of new clothes.

    My son is just 12, but a big 12, is wearing age 14 M&S pyjamas, I couldn't find anything to fit him. went into Next hoping for a 2- or 3-pack of their long sleeved t-shirts - found nothing bigger than age 12, same in M&S except for a few jumpers (nothing we liked particularly). Trousers have been my nightmare tho, as DS is 'stocky' (yes a bit overweight, we're working on it), and no 'boys' trousers were big enough.

    Eventually went up to M&S mens dept, and found that 32" waist 29" inside leg is a good size for him (same as his dad wore when we got married 19 years ago !) Skinny fit even better (if that makes sense).
    Coughing a bit about the price difference tho. Shirts and t-shirts are more of a problem, haven't tried primark/peacocks yet, but did get a couple of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/380323074895?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_2391wt_1139 tho, and assuming they wash ok they'll do the job.
    I try not to get too stressed out on the forum. I won't argue, i'll just leave a thread if you don't like what I say. :)

    It's worth trying the mens section in New Look. The jeans start at 28in waist if they're on the skinny side, shop there all the time at the moment for my 5'9in tall skinny 14year old.
