You can try them on in the local store and then buy the same size online. Works wonders for some products like brand sneakers or jeans.

- vages 5y agoWorks worse when the store closes because you don’t buy stuff there.
- smichel17 5y agoI imagine a future in which brick and mortar stores offer the same prices as online (without having to price match), but charge an entry fee for the service of trying stuff on/out. Won't happen until enough brick and mortar stores close that the remaining ones can get away with it, though.
- nsainaney 5y agoAgreed. Doesn't anyone go out in their neighbourhood anymore. What's with wanting everything to come to you. I like going out and know the names of the bar managers and store staff at the places I shop....

- Bob_LaBLahh 5y agoFYI, things like jeans can have a lot of size variability between seemingly identical pairs (same brand, model, and nominal size). My understanding is that this is because the denim is stacked and then die cut in the factory. Since denim is highly deformable, the cut outs from the top of the stack are not the same size as the cut out from the bottom of the stack. And this can lead to considerable size variance within the "same" pairs of pants. That's why it's a good idea to try on two pairs of the exact "same" pants if the fit is close, but not quite right. YMMV.
- 8note 5y agoI've only found differences for pants bought in different years. If I buy two of the same pair, the match each other throughout their lifespan.
- Bob_LaBLahh 5y agoInteresting. I've noticed about a half size difference in both waist and leg length on one occasion. One pair didn't fit but it's twin was perfect. \_(ツ)_/
- dylan604 5y agoA lot of stores have a price match even for online prices to keep you from doing this. So if you're so cheap to do this, then you could at least reward the local store for providing you a service rather than cheating them out of a sale.
