The answer to finding a pair of shorts for a tall and skinny child! Praise God for these shorts. The toggle and elastic waistband allow your child to wear these for at least two full years if not three! I would give anything to find the next size with this toggle, but the new version is designed differently with a traditional drawstring tie. The toggle is both effective and trendy. Size Small (size 8-10). The khaki and camouflage shorts were awesome for Scouts. The shorts are soft, lightweight, comfortable, casual yet dressy with a nice Polo. The PERFECT pair of shorts!
