We wound up in Sears and my son got a pair of carpenter pants in the work clothes area. They were $40 but at least they won't fall apart. My hard-to-fit daughter wound up with spandex leggings that were $20 a pair.
I just bought my sons clothes today. Jeans 100% cotton (Faded Glory brand so I know they will hold up) for $10. 100% cotton tshirts for between $3-6 each. You can still find inexpensive clothes that will last if you hunt around. We went to Walmart.
