Any good?  smile

They’re a little pricey but wear very well.  They have cheaper ones too but they seem to only go up to 4-5.

Frugi do some cropped ones, but if you got the next size up they would work as trousers one year and cropped trousers the next? But they are rather pricey too.

Cough… er I must admit I buy those sets of pjs with plain pj bottoms and Rye wears the pj bottoms, he likes colourful clothes and now he’s 5 it’s getting harder and harder to find him fun colourful trousers, everything is blue, grey, brown or black -(

The pj type trousers are very easy to make, you can do it by folding a pair he loves in half and drawing round them.  Add extra where he has grown.  And you get to choose the fabric smile

It’s the first thing alot of people make on a sewing machine.
