Senior Boys' Charcoal Pleated Trousers

On Campus Charcoal Pleated Flexi-waist Trousers  

How to Choose the Correct Size Trousers

• We very strongly advise that you either send your son in, or bring them in for their trousers to be fitted. If we can see your son, and measure him, then we can fit the trousers to his height and body shape so the trousers will be more comfortable and they should also last longer. The staff at Inaburra Uniform Shop have over five years experience in fitting boys' school trousers, so come and make use of their experience. 
• Because almost all of our trousers have the built in flexi-waist, also known as "burger room" (you know when you have a lot of burgers for lunch, and you feel a bit bloated? That's when you need burger room...), the waistband will stretch with your son as he grows. Buying the next size up in trousers almost never works, because often the boys have stretched their trousers A LOT without realising.
• We also stock a variety of patterns and different cuts; we have a standard Youth cut, a Youth Quarter, which has extra room in the thighs and the seat area, plus a standard Men's cut and Men's Quarters.
• Are you confused yet? Please send your son over to the Uniform Shop any lunchtime except Friday's when we're closed. They don't need special permission, and yes they can bring their posse with them ;-)
• If we still haven't convinced you to come in, then this is how to choose the correct size for purchase online:
  • Measure your son with a fabric tape measure pulled in firm (not tight) across their hipbones, preferably not over bulky clothing.
  • Then choose a size a few cm's smaller than what they measure. This is so the trousers will grip to their hips to stay up.
  • Example: If your son's hip measurement was 74cm, after checking the size charts below, you can work out that you could choose a Youth size 12/72cm. If they're a stocky build, a Youth Quarter 11Q/72cm  would work, or if they're tall and slim, a Men's 2/72cm.
  • If the initial sizes were too small, M2H/74.5cm, or a Y13/74cm would be the next sizes up to try.
  • As this example shows, for a boy with a 72cm waist, there are three different patterns available, plus pleated or non-pleated styles to try. If we can see your son, we know what style and size to choose, and even then, sometimes they need to try a few pairs on before they find the ones that are the most comfortable fit.
  • But what if my son won't go over to the Shop despite me asking him for weeks? Call us! We can send a note to the students class and have them sent over for a fitting. We didn't raise almost a dozen kids between us without learning a few sneaky tricks about getting teenaged boys to do something they don't want to do ;-)
