Are you still wearing the same size you did 30 years ago, thank
vanity
sizing. If you were wearing nappies 30 years ago, your time will
come.

It really works in reverse. I don't know how womens' sizes work but
men's are nominally the waist circumference. If you buy size 36 jeans
from XXX and they don't fit, you switch to YYY. In fact XXX jeans are
really 36" and YYY jeans are 38 in the real world but you feel XXX is
skimping. If you see 'relaxed fit' all bets are off.

The most sensible idea is to have all the sizes true and comparable,
then
I can simply buy something from any shop the same size (or one bigger)
than a label on something I have at home. Any shop who sells me
something
in a size I don't expect (too large or too small) has it returned with
an
angry complaint, then I shop elsewhere.

And they just yawn and cheer when they realise you wont be back.

No,

Yep.

they lose money on returns

Nope.

They do if the garment isn't resellable,

They wont give you a refund if it isnt.

Wrong, if it's the wrong size it's as good as faulty.

or if it's bought online and they have to pay postage.

and no future sales.

Plenty of other fools and they never see you again, hence the big party.

Plenty of folk read reviews.

**** all take any notice of you saying that
what clothes you bought didn't fit you.

Yes they do. Bad reviews severely deplete custom.
