I cannot find any ANYWHERE in his size. He's 12 years old, but 5'4", and skinny as a rail (30" inseam, 26" or 27" waist). I'm an online shopper, but if anyone knows of a physical store that sells tall boys athletic pants, I'd go check it out. Usually, I have better luck online, since they tend to carry the odd sizes, but when it comes to athletic style pants, nobody seems to have slims. I've even started looking in men's/young men's, but they seem to all start at size Small (he'd be an XS), and they still don't make longer lengths. What do tall athletic men and boys do? Wear high waters when they work out? I've tried Zappos, Kohls, Lands End, Sports Authority, Children's Place (they have slims, but they aren't long enough), Crazy 8... what am I missing? Or has anyone had luck with any brands that run long and lean? Thanks!
Keep 'em coming everyone, and thanks! I did make an edit though above. He's actually only a 26" waist! Also, while Old Navy is a good suggestion, I am on a boycott of O/N, Gap, etc. due to their treating me like crud. Sorry, I hold grudges. ;) I went shopping today to 3 places, and came up empty. Boys are too short, men's are just too big all over. I'm going to try some women's pants I think...

The small is a 28-29; LG 32" inseam +/- .05 per size (this would put the sm. at 30")
Under Armor is a QUALITY brand that is worth the money.
Either way, I would start looking into Men's sizing.
I have the same problem with my 10 yr old son! I seemed to have some luck with Target and Old Navy, in the past. I didn't find slims, but they seemed to run slimmer. He's also had to tie alot of drawstrings kind of tight.
I'm looking forward to the answers!
I get my boys pants at old navy. When you have tall skinny boys draw strings are your friends.
Did you try Old Navy?
They have "slim" pants.
Don't know about the length.
Try Academy Sports Store...they are a sporting goods store here in Texas but are online as well. My son is only 8 but he is very slim and we get alot of our athletic wear at Academy because they carry slims.
