LATEST MOAN FROM YOU AND ME 2019

Ah!

As "working class" I wear "scruff" unless I'm going somewhere.

 

Never had a Porsche, and it would not be my no1 car if I had that kind of money.

So, the 10% wont make much difference to me.

 

You'll be wanting either a 'relaxed' or 'straight' fit I suspect @wiseowl. If it's any consolation women's jeans are the same.

 

You're welcome @wiseowl.

I don't believe that for one minute.

 

I know what you mean about jeans Woo, i can't find jeans that fit me, the one's i'm wearing at the mow are to big and look like baggy trousers on me, trying to find size 32 is now hard around here
The ones i try to get are regurlar

 

They use adjustable tape messures today and one size fit's all

 

It's not the shops @Loofah, it's the machinists. Everyone has their own way of working and machinists are the same. Which is why, when we're buying more than one identical item of clothing each one should be tried on, as they all tend to differ slightly in size.

 

Speaking from my retail experience, the big name clothing stores may farm out the production of the same line to more than one manufacturer.
This will ensure continuity of supply, if one firm goes belly up as they all have to cut their margines to the bone to get the work.
So there's often a small difference in sizing. Added to that, the machinists making up the garments often have to reach a certain production total, may on occasion,s sew the wrong label size into the odd garment, or simply not have enough of the right size tag, so use a different one.

On occasions when I was managing different chain stores, (before I changed job and went into managing departmental stores), I'd look at say, half a dozen size 16 sweaters of a new line and measure them. It wasn't uncommon to find a difference in some. Anyone shopping for something they aren't going to try on, should take a tape measure with them.
