tuc tuc boys' denim is tough, comfortable denim for everyday: shorts and trousers in lightweight, soft or washed-effect denim, woven fabric cargos, a hooded denim jacket and the odd accessory. Most have an elasticated waist, drawstring or internal adjuster. Sizes run from 6 months to 16 years. Take a look at boys' shorts and boys' trousers too.
The right denim for every plan
- Denim shorts: cool and hard-wearing; for summer and camps.
- Jeans: the school basic; they stand up to knees and scuffs.
- Denim cargos: with side pockets, for days out.
- Denim jacket: the spring and autumn layer that goes with everything.
Size and fit
Size 6 years is for 111–116 cm and size 12 years for 137–144 cm. Jeans with an internal waist adjuster let you buy the larger size and take it in while he grows.
How to wear it
Light denim goes with brightly coloured T-shirts; dark denim with polo shirts or shirts for a smarter look. A denim jacket over a sweatshirt is a classic.
To look after them, wash inside out, cold and with similar colours, without tumble drying, and empty the pockets first. Always follow the care label. Well-treated denim lasts many seasons and is still in good shape for the next size or a younger brother.
Jeans with an internal adjuster?
Yes, if your son is slim or in the middle of a growth spurt. A waist with an internal adjuster lets you buy the larger size and wear it for longer without it falling down.
