Why is it so hard to find boys' dress clothes?

Shopping for dress clothes really makes me wish Tynan had been a girl. I feel like I've been everywhere and I still can't find a suit! I found a tux at a consignment shop, but that's a little overboard. I found 1 suit jacket with no matching pants at BRU. Other than that, I can't find anything!

So, if you have a little boy and ever bought a suit... where did you get it? I'm even open to doing just dress pants and a vest, but have had no luck with a vest, either.

    We've gotten most of ours at Burlington Coat Factory. We've also occasionally found some at Kohl's. The last one was bought at Sears.

    This is the same style and brand (different color) as the last one we bought. It was available in store at Easter. http://m.sears.com/productdetails.do?partNumber=029VA47209001P

    No luck at Kohl's or Sears, but I hadn't thought about Burlington Coat! I will try there. Thanks Alicia!

    You're welcome! The stores all seem to be better stocked at Easter and Christmas for boys' dress clothes. But BCF generally has a selection year round.

  • Do you sew or know someone who does?  A vest should be pretty easy to make.

    I can sew well enough to do a vest. Pants would probably be beyond my capability without a lot of time (and we have a wedding to go to in less than 2 weeks, eek!) so I was hoping to buy a matching set, but I will remind myself that I'm capable of making a vest to coordinate with pants he already has if I can't find anything. Thanks for the suggestion!

    Thanks!

    Alicia, Burlington Coat factory for everything but the shirt, which was Baby Gap. :) PIP in the weekend post I just started, although I think you already saw it on Facebook!
