My son will be 6 soon, he is "true to size" for his age, 5" and 45# (okay, headed to 47 ha ha holidays;)

He says these are the MOST comfortable ever.  My son used to wear slims, most clothing is now made for heavy Americans, but my son is not ultra skinny.  These stretch, the 6-8 fit him PERFECT with room to grow, no gaps.  Please note, they are a bit long, so if your son wears very short shorts, this may not work.  But my son LOVES them, and they are so soft!!!!!!!!  (no softener added:)

I have tried so many different brands, including designer brands, to find something comfortable and not saggy on my son!  I HIGHLY recommend these.  I feel Hanes is missing a market, since they list these as EIGHTS, they are 6-8, meaning age 4 (big boys), 5, AND 6 can wear these!!!!  I think i will write the sellers so they know:)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
