I guess clinging to a specific number is why vanity sizing exists. Saying she's a certain size doesn't make her not fat. We can see her. What will an arbitrary number on a label prove?

No kidding. Especially if you take height into consideration.

They have changed the inches. I bought size 34 pants. Got home and measured them. They were about 38 inches. Returned them.

Sad news. There was an article not long ago talking about how "inches" in clothing are no longer real inches. Different brands inflate them to different degrees. I have old men's pants that I've compared to new ones in the same size, and the new ones are wider in the waist.

They have absolutely changed inches. I can't buy a 30 waist pair of pants anymore and have to drop to either 28 or 29 if I want a good fit.
