Have you considered making your own? I have a girl, so I am not much help in the area of buying boy clothes. But I know that has to be frustrating. I am learning how to make Katie Scarlett some dresses now, but many of the patterns I have bought also have styles of tops for boys to wear as well. I am not a seamstress by any stretch of the imagination, but I am learning. My fellow YT'ers helped me to learn a lot. I took a sewing 101 class too that helped. Or if you are uncomfortable with the idea of making your own, have you checked out others who hand make items? Check out Etsy. Great place for things like that. We order a lot of KS's handmade things from Bella's Prissy Puppie Boutique. You can find her on Facebook. I know she makes a few boy things.
Here are some things I found on Etsy:
SALE Gentleman Blue Boy Dog Clothes Size XXS by JKdoggiesfashion
Red Plaid Small Dog Christmas Harness Vest Boy by Missteawinkie

And here are a few of the patterns I got. Many of these harnesses/tops could be made using boy themed fabrics. Also, if you have a Hobby Lobby in your area, keep an eye on the sale paper. They have sales every now and then where all Simplicity Patterns are 99 cents each. I stocked up during their last sale. LOL

Here is a free pattern I found too:

Google 'free dog clothing pattern' too! There are tons out there for free.
Hope this helps! Good luck!
And if you do decide to make some of your own...be forewarned...the sewing bug is addictive!
