I spent some time comparing a few brands before ordering this. The stitching quality is noticeably better than what I have found in offline markets at a similar price point. My son is 11 and I ordered the 11-12yr, which fits comfortably. The waistband has an inner elastic so it sits well without a belt. For styling, he wears it with a basic white tee and sneakers for school, and when we go out in the evening I just switch the tee for a printed shirt and it looks put together. Denim softened nicely after the first wash. Happy with this purchase.
