Where to buy clothes for overweight kids?

My 13 year old Stepson is unfortunately very overweight. Does anyone know of any places we can buy clothes that might actually fit him?
We are finding it extremely hard to find anywhere to buy clothes for him as he is also a bit of an odd shape!
Thanks for any help

Life is sometimes a bit pants but occasionally you can wear your french knickers!

Friends in your situation swore by GAP who do, or did, 3 width fittings for the same height. I think they call the wider size "husky".I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

Next and H&M bth do kids plus-fit range, which gives bigger waist size for age, without increasing leg length
Or perfect your seamstress skills for altering/making clothes0 -

How tall is he? Could you look at menswear short length or at least for tops? My short skinny 13yr old can fit in to xs at top man and primark for tops and sometimes shorts x0

if he is a tall 13 year old you could try some mens plus size shops like jacamo, john banks, 4 xl menswear, to name a few.0

How about feeding the kid less, don't buy any more sweets, crisps or fried food and get the kid doing exercise.
No exercise = no food
Either way he loses weight !0 -

I guess that goes without saying but in the meantime he's got to wear clothes.
OP, just google 'clothes for fat kids' or some such. I expect there's lots of variety online."Growth for growth's sake is the ideology of the cancer cell" - Edward Abbey.0
