After more badgering on my part, he finally gave in and found an intact pair of khaki pants - no stains on the knees, and they actually fit well (he seems to be between 12 and 14 at the moment and it is hard to find clothes). He said that he would wear either his white shirt (that goes with his jacket and tie) or the blue checked one I bought him at the Gap.

I was advised that a jacket and tie weren’t necessary for his first-choice school, but his first interview later this week is at a different school, so I have a call in to a neighbor whose kids go there to find out if he should wear his Bar Mitzvah outfit.

Thank you for the comments and advice, which added firmness to my voice, undoubtedly prompting the capitulation.
