Compound this with the total lack of quality control in garment manufacture and you begin to see why shopping is such an ordeal. Anecdotal point, I bought a pair of black jeans from the Gap (4 months ago), having tried on several other colors of the same model (size/cut), each fitting different. Since I could not find an identical fitting pair in another color, I decided to get a second pair of black jeans (exact same). Being paranoid, I decided to try on the second pair before purchasing, and it fit differently than the first. I decided to try on the first pair again to make sure I was not going crazy. Exact same pants, exact same UPC, different fit. If I can find a good piece of clothing that fits me well, I tend to purchase several of them at once (in the same exact color/style).
