...last month I bought a shirt from Macy's in a size and brand I already have.
When it arrived it was too small.
I took it back to the local Macy's and exchanged it for one the right size.
Easy, no hassle.
But why one brand has 2 different sized large shirts is still a mystery and makes on-line shopping difficult.
Follow Ups:
I went clothes shopping at the Mall last Friday. I hate clothes shopping.
I tried on some casual short sleeved shirts that one might wear for golfing. Shirts of the SAME brand fit me differently depending on where that STYLE was manufactured. Some were made in El Salvador, Vietnam, and China. There was no consistency in sizing. I had to try them all on and ended up buying a couple in MEDIUM and some in LARGE. Same thing with shorts. My waist sizing was +/- 2 full sizes depending on the brand.
It's actually worse than that. I had three of the exact same shirts in the dressing room. Same brand, same style, same color. They all fit slightly different so I picked the one that fit best.
Same here Abe, and which store I shop at doesn't seem to matter.
I can remember (in the past) how my wife used to be jealous of the fact that I could run in to the mens department of any store and (knowing my size) leave with several pairs of Wranglers or several shirts (for example) without bothering to try them on, in a matter of just a few minutes.
No more! :-(
...other than my recent purchase, I don't find the sizing as much a problem with shirts as with pants.
Even with Levis, I always try on 2 to 3 pairs of the same size to see which one fits the best - they are all slightly different.
I'm told the variation has to do with where they are in the line for the stamper that cuts the fabric to be stitched together.
