> can't they just measure something after the wash? of course they can! those jeans cost double. it’s not a matter of incompetence or don’t care. it’s a matter of production efficiency. as for otherwise identical jeans being different sizes, that’s also a matter of consistency of the raw material. if you want high consistency it costs more. consumers aren’t willing to bear that cost.
