Cotton sweatpants for schools-aged boys

May 2005

I am looking for 100% cotton sweatpants for my elementary school age sons. I would love some that have pockets and reinforced knees. I'm not much of a shopper; I know they don't have them at Target or Mervyns. Any suggestions? Thanks! jen


Hanna Anderson has the best sweats around (children's and adults). Not the least expensive you can find, but, they last forever and wash well. http://www.hannaandersson.com/ picky about sweats
If you're willing to shop by catalogue or online, you should check out Hanna Andersson, Land's End, and LL Bean. I do they think they carry more of that type of product in the fall and winter months, though. anon
Landsend.com, Hanna Andersson (watch for sales), Old Navy (if you shop GAP stores). Also - Cotton Kids on Piedmont (if they're still there) R.K.
We have found great (but not cheap) 100% cotton sweat pants on line or in the catalogue at Hanna Anderssen.com (Sp?). You can google it. They have a good web page and great customer service. - Catalogue shoppin' mom
Try shopping online: Hanna Andersson, Lands End, and/or LL Bean all have web sites, & all should have what you're looking for. shop a lot
We have found pocketed sweatpants without reinforced knees at Target, and also at Sears. Online, LandsEnd has exactly what you want. Letitia

Boys' sweatpants with straight leg

September 2001

My son prefers to wear sweat pants with an elastic waist but We're having trouble finding ones that have a finished cuff in his size. Mervyn's carries these in smaller sizes but not the larger sizes. I'd prefer not to buy the Hanna Andersson ones, since they are Very expensive. Has anyone seen these elsewhere? Thanks for any help.


Macy's carries a brand called Green Dog that makes them sizes 8 - 20. Allison
Here's what I do with my son's elastic-bottom pants: cut off the elastic cuff; hem the pant legs with a sewing machine. Wrinkles from the elastic should smooth out in the wash, or iron if that doesn't work. Make sure the pant legs are long enough, though! Clarisse
