Recipe of the week

penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.

My son (15) likes the stuff in the Joe Brown's catalogue if you want to try them. I'm sure there's a website.

Burton does some basic stuff if you have a tall 13 year old. T shirts, hoodies etc. Good selection of jeans too.
Bought him a supposed age 16 top at H&M last year, and it was too tight. C&A do some relaxed waistband stuff that is Ok for the summer, but becomes a problem in the winter as the legs are always way too long.

H&M good. How big is he, mine could fit into Top Man at 13 they do jeans in 26" waist and do and XXS which should fit the average 13 year old.
Boden is OK - and ds 13 wears it without complaint. Generous sizings too; is a lifesaver as I am not in UK, and can't find clothes for him easily as they cut for smaller kids on the continent than we do in UK.

H&M are quite good, also last time we did a big shop in Debenham's sale. Got lots of Duffer/Quicksilver stuff for half price. Billabong are also popular here.
Must admit I buy most of ds's clothes online.
For years most of his clothes have come from
La Redoute/vertbaudet

Next online has a much better range of older boys clothes than in their shops

DS 13 is tall and actually fits into small mans size or 16 yr old clothes.

Debenhams have quite good ranges upto 16yr old and so does BHS in the shops as well as online

I buy most of DS's clothes at Sport Soccer or Primark. Sport Soccer now seem to stock more non-sporty clothes, eg jeans, as well as all the sporty branded stuff. Great prices too. Or if you are after labels you could try TK Maxx.

Where can I buy my 13 year old son clothes that will be `cool' enough for him to find them acceptable! All ideas gratefully appreciated.

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
