Clothing sizing that uses numbers pisses me off so much that I’m enraged just by the mere mention of it in this post. If the jeans say 25 inch waist it better fucking measure 63,5cm at the waist, but it never does. My vintage Levi 501’s in w28 are the same size as my newer Levi’s in w25! Make it make sense!
I believe it’s called ”vanity sizing” and it’s designed to make people (who are emotionally tied to their clothing size) feel better about being a smaller number, no matter what that means in actual measurements in this dimension we exist in.
