Default "tall and slim" toddler boy's clothing?

DH likes Land's End, but I find them a bit overpriced for One's
clothes.

But .... since Lyn was looking for things for her tall slender son, I
should point out that I did buy LE pants for One -- once. He's a bit
on the tall side, but with a solid build -- no fat on him, but broad
shoulders, etc. In the length he needed, LE pants simply fell down off
him.

I'll add OshKosh to the list, though, as a brand that tends to run
longer and narrower. What about Hanna Andersson -- I can't recall
their fit.


It has been my experience that Osh Kosh runs small all the way around.
And they are a bit spendy.

We have a HA outlet here, and their stuff does run taller and more
slender, but unfortunately they only carry a bit of toddler boy's
clothing. And I refuse to pay HA retail - that's just nuts.

As for "cheapo" brands, KMart carrys a line of very cute clothing for
boys called WonderKids that seems better-made than most, and the sales
at KMart are incredible. I have, in the past, purchased canvas
jean-type play pants for $2.50 or less. Their 3T pants run too big in
the butt for DS, though the length is perfect. I don't know anything
about their girl's wear. I have found 99% of Target's clothing to be
just junk - I don't even shop there anymore except for paper products.

I will look into Baby Gap and a few other places people mentioned -
thanks for all the input!
