In Search of Boys Jeans with Snap Closure and Adjustable Waistband

Hi,

I'm looking for a boys jean brand that has snap closures and adjustable waist band larger than size 8. My 8 year old's fine motor skills are a work in progress and is really struggling to get his pants on and off. He's a size 12 and quickly approaching a 14. Adjustable waistbands aren't as much of an issue as finding snaps on jeans.

Anyone know of a brand that still has snap closures?

Thanks!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thank you for all the great suggestions. After searching, it looks like Walmart may have what I"m looking for. It's the Wrangler 5 star jeans.

Thanks again!

Old navy had both but that was on a size 6 boys. I think my daughter's size 8 jeans from there also had snaps and adjustable waists.

I'm not sure of the closures, but Walmart sells boys' Wrangler jeans in sizes up into the teens. They have the adjustable waistbands.

Perhaps instead of worrying about finding snap closures, you could head over to Michael's or Hobby Lobby and find out how to remove the button closure and REPLACE it with a snap closure. I'm not sure how to remove the buttons, but I know installing a snap closure is EASY! I'll bet some of the folks over in the sewing department could give you a step-by-step instruction!

I don't know about a brand, but Kohls has some because I use those for my son. He always needs adjustable waist because he's thin.

Try Gap Kids - I know they have the toddler sizes in snap/adjustables and I am almost certain they do for the kids' sizes as well. Call, or check online before you go all the way to the mall!

Take a look at Target as well. My 6 year old is in the "big kids" section now, and he hates buttons -loves the "hook and eye" type slide fasteners that would probably work for your son too. My son wears a 7, but I've noticed when going through the racks that they seem to offer a lot of cargo shorts and pants with that type of closure in larger sizes as well as some pull-on pants with an elastic waist.

Hi K., As a mom of 6. Your best value would be Sears. I have shopped at many of the stores listed by other below but if you buy jeans at Sears if your boys are tough on jeans like mine are and wear a hole in the knees then you can take the jeans back to sears and get a new pair for free. Sears brand does not have adjustable waist but they sale levi's which have the adjustable waist. The sears brand does have the snap instead of button fly. Hope this helps.

I have no idea how large the sizes go at Children's Place, but they are my go-to store for adjustable waist pants for my skinny boy!

Try WalMart and Target. JCPenny has ones that are sliders, like men's slacks and on their shorts, and my son prefers them - trying to get them to make them on their long jeans too! They are soooooo much easier and he gets such a boost to his confidence. Many of those snaps are DIFFICULT to snap. The Children's Place may have them too, but it has been a VERY long time since I have shopped there.
