Where can I purchase a pair of men's white dress pants? I need them in
size 16/18 for a very slim teenage boy. All I can seem to find on the
web are either "casual" pants in colors called things like "stone", or
work paints such as painter's pants. I need the kind of white dress
pants that would work with a full dress military uniforn (ie,
permenantly creased uniform whites would be great, but frankly I'll
take *any* pair of white-white dress pants.)

journalist: that answer was perfect! Although we had tried Frank Bee
(they didn't have any, despite what the web site says), and couldn't
reach Stansbury over the weekend, the web page you found had a list of
stores that gave us the answer. The pants are ordered, and will be
delivered Tuesday. By all means, please go ahead and post the answer,
thanks!

I am delighted you have located the pants!!  As you requested, below
is the answer formerly posted as a comment, and I thank you for
honoring my time spent researching what turned out to be the right
answer for you!

******************

Greetings!  I hesitate to post this as an answer because only you can
determine if the pants I found will meet your needs.  I discovered a
site called Frank Bee that sells boys school uniforms, band uniforms,
military dress and they also accept custom orders.
 
They advertise "We Service with pride the most prestigious private
school system in the nation, The Archdiocese of New York...We have a
complete selection of all types of uniforms for School, Work, Scouts,
and Military."
 
Their telephone number is toll-free 800-372-6523 so you may want to
call them to ascertain they have the correct kind of white dress pants
for which you are looking.
 
On my search of "buy band uniforms white" I saw a reference to
Stanbury Uniforms, makers of band uniforms, so I searched that and
their toll-free number is 800-826-2246.  They have the white pants as
well.  Their catalog page index shows numerous pages of male models
wearing white dress pants.
 
In that same search, I turned up a list of where to buy white dress
pants in New York City.
 
If any of the above sources prove able to supply you with the pants
you seek, please post to let me know and I post this aas an answer and
claim the question fee.
