Review on Calvin Klein Boys' Flat-Front Bi-Stretch Dress Pant, Straight Leg Fit, Hemmed Bottom, with Belt Loops and Functional Front Pockets by Elvis Bragg

I bought these pants for my boy's Irish Step competition. I chose them because they are straight (not too wide for the jury to see their shape), have a flat front, are slim-fitting (for my skinny boys), and draw towards you (so they can move comfortably in them). ). They look and feel good, especially when they're dancing. You are perfect. nearly. Contrary to most other reviews I feel these pants are true to size in length and hip/yoke but have a large waist for slim fitting pants. My boys (13 and 11) are both skinny but not very tall. They are the same height and weight and both usually wear size 44 pants, either skinny or regular depending on the brand. And the size 14 of these pants fits both. except the waist. (They can both hook the inside hook into the outside eyelet; they're so loose on them. They don't have an adjustable waist and can't wear straps in competition, so I'll have to keep my fingers crossed that they don't end up on their ankles, while they dance.!(I'll find a way to save them somehow.) Based on suggestions from other reviewers, I ordered both the 14th and 16th because many wrote that customers should buy a size up and/or a husky size.
