What label is fashionable for teenage boys?

Please can any parents of teenage boys help me out?

I have no idea what label is currently "cool" where my grandsons are concerned and wonder if anyone could point me in the right direction?

They like clothes so - along with the compulsory XBox game - I'd like to get them a nice top or something similar.

The older one is 14 and the younger one nearly 11.

    Hollister or Jack Wills are very popular and are kind of a "preppie" look, but if they are more sporty then maybe try Nike or Converse. JD Sports do a good range of the latter in kids sizes.

    Oh or Superdry. They don't technically do kids sizes, but I think they sell extra smalls, and the sizes run quite neat.

    My son (17) loves and still wears his black jeans from debenhams - red herring label. Bit cheaper than the others mentioned but fit him really well.
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    Hollister, Jack Wills, Abercrombie and Fitch, and All Saints are the 4 I'd say but generally a lot of the departments in House of Fraser will be suitable.
    The frontier is never somewhere else. And no stockades can keep the midnight out.

    Thanks so much for the suggestions. I've heard my older grandson mrntion Superdry and Abercrombie & Fitch, and he likes vans too and American Apparel.

    So I'll have a look and no doubt prepare to be horrified at the prices!

    My son asked me for "a couple" of Ralph Lauren tops for Christmas.

    Oh how I laughed (at £45 each, he'll be lucky!! :eek:)

    Levi stuff is quite popular at the moment apparently.
