We're getting jackets as a christmas present from my employer and they had us fill out a size form. "Sizes are as usual."
Made me think of this.
Just buy in Temu, they put these BS sizes but there's always a chart in cm so if you know your numbers you get it right.
Same thing when I wanted Business shirts. Where I live it's all s m l bulshit. I went to Macy's online and they sell most brands by 3 measures I think, can't remember, it's collar size, arm length in inches. Well worth the international shipping fees for a week's worth of shirts. Now I mostly work from home, I think they'll last until I retire lol

I didn't even know they had gay sizes.
The last time I went shopping for pants it took a fabric tape measure.
Even as a guy, every pair was six to ten inches larger than listed in the waist.
Thank you
I suppose one of the many reasons why there are no consistent clothing sizes is because it's so difficult to agree on a way to measure things. What parts do you measure? The lower leg thickness? the upper leg thickness? the waist circumference? The leg's length? What if these numbers are all independent of each other and can't be reduced to a single number?

Jokes on you I don't know what Letter/Number size I am, I just try some on and buy the one that fits
i am simply too impatient to buy tight or normal fitting clothing - i just buy loose M or L everything and eyeball if it should be M or L, bonus points for drawstrings but i do also own belts so anything will do.
besides, finding a well fitting pair of jeans is borderline impossible for me, because: 1. i'm a guy 2. i'm short 3. i have a big ass. those 3 combined seemingly make me a mythical creature, clothes designers don't seem to even be capable of thinking to make jeans that'd fit me well.
jeans that fit my ass and are short enough? guess i don't get to have pockets (because i'd need to buy in the women's section)
guy design and big ass variant? baggy on the rest of my legs & now i need to cut them to walk
guy design & good lenghts for my legs? my ass doesn't fit
:(
