At what age do boys get their first long trousers?

Is it just me or pants are... normal to use?

I don't know about this habit. To me it's weird if people don't allow boys to have normal trousers.

it used to be that way in the US when my Dad was young.

Wearing pants is a tradition. You become a man the day you wear pants.
Not even in winter you are able to use pants if you are young.

This is the thing I find the most strange in here. Pants as a ritual of passage.

in uk in the olden days under 13 wore shorts to school that went down to their knees, then when they went to grammar school they got long trousers,

You mean normal trousers? Those were the first trousers I had, I think. Those were... erm.. the normal trousers I wore.

My little men wore trousers when they were able to walk well on their own.

Erik, twotailz: Do you wear shorts all year? Even in winter?

Boys shouldn't wear long pants/trousers only shorts.

Nowadays, to wear short trousers is in fashion 😝

My dad didn't until he was nearly 15

Yes, even in freezing winter.

I am 16 and I still wear only shorts.

Are you brothers?

Why?
