Hello everyone, my son has asked me to get him some plain, good quality jogging pants with cuffed ankles for his birthday in black or blue.

I've been going cross eyed on the internet and wondered if anyone's partners or sons had a favourite brand please?

Most of the kids go for Adidas or Nike

How old is he? My 21 year old like Under Armour stuff

If he's not brand conscious, then Cotton Traders might be worth a look?

Adidas and Nike nothing else will do. If he's bulk then Canterbury.

bulky

None of my grandkids wear anything but Adidas ?flexible Aren’t they funny ?

Hilarious, BlueBelle as the branded ones will definitely be made of the same fabric as the non branded ones, and possibly in the same factory hmm

Very probably phoenix - but unless he really doesn’t care about brands then that logo can make all the difference. It shouldn’t but it does, unfortunately.

Give him the money
I haven not chosen clothes for DS since he was a teenager!!

Cotton Traders joggers are good quality and retain their shape. BUT if he is young and trendy he won't want that make!!!

Buy them online from sports direct they're always cheaper there.

Thanks so much, he will be 26 on 22 June. He's had the same awful grey pair for years and years - and as he hasn't got a tumble drier or washing line, they always smell musty.

As he's now driving a taxi I think having a few 'uniform' colour pairs will be comfortable for him.

I'll look at all your suggestions, you have really narrowed it down for me, thanks so much smile .

Well if he's not fussy on make, the cotton traders ones are nice and thick, good quality and look fairly smart. My OH prefers the ones with a straight bottom, not elasticated ankles.

Thank you seacliff, I've had a look and was surprised at all the lovely colours! Got a bit distracted by all the other lovely things too!
