I am getting pretty damn sick and tired of clothes not fitting properly.

There needs to be regulations on the size of clothes.

There are a few particular brands that I wear a lot and I like to order stuff off the internet because it is convenient. I don't have much time to go out to the stores to shop. I would rather spend that time doing shite that enjoy doing and not having to deal with dumb people and crowds and traffic, etc.

I do not understand that if I buy a LARGE from Brand X and it fits perfectly and then when I go buy from Brand X again, it fits like shite

I bought a LARGE sports team shirt I enjoy from Under Armor. It arrives, I'm excited, I washed the shirt and put it on and it fits like a fricking SMALL.

I buy a pair of 34" pants from Brand X that fit amazing. I bought a different pair of pants from the same Brand X and it fits like a fricking 38" pair of pants

Why can't shite be consistent with clothing companies with sizes?

Or you could just try on stuff before you buy it.

Government regulations don't really go over well with the OT.

It’s called to have your clothes tailored. A 15 dollar shirt can fit like a $100 shirt if you have it fit properly.

Maybe just return the items and get a bigger or smaller size accordingly. That's the exact reason why you don't order clothes off the internet.

hell no, frick the gov, they need to be involved in our lives less, not more

that said, i fully support an industry wide clothing manufactures going to universal standards for all sizes

you get 3 different random brands of jeans and odds are, to fit and feel the same way, you will end up with 3 different sizes. in my case i strictly by one brand and style jean only now and i buy like a dozen and keep them in reserve as needed.

even then on occasion every few years i have to switch sizes when they start fitting different, and no its not me changing size because the brand new ones i had in storage fit but same size newly bought ones didnt

No one buys a $15 shirt to get it tailored.

Any sentence beginning with "The government needs to..." is not going to end well.

What really needs to happen is clothes need to stop getting bigger. A small is now is at least a medium two years ago

Because I don’t buy a cheap shirt just to get it tailored? The whole point of buying a cheap shirt is that it’s cheap.

If you buy online, you might need to err on the side of looseness because you can't try it on. It isn't rocket science.

In store, you can try it on. If you don't like crowds, you run certain risks.
