We should also keep in mind how certain brands have different sizes between their line in the store. At H&M especially you can fit into a certain size jean and have a second pair of jeans - with the same size label - completely different. Some store have huge inconsistences within their own lines.
I absolutely agree!
I’m so glad someone finally did this study. Thank you.
Meanwhile, online merchants want to start charging online shoppers for returning online purchases. I often have to order the same product is several sizes because sizing is so wildly inconsistent!
This contributes to our throwaway fashion culture. All these manufacturers have lost control of their brands and online clothing purchases are often a disaster.
All these brands are produced in the same factories, on the same lines, by same people.
Different labels are sawn in the end.
Hiya, appreciate your time & efforts to share this story. Blessings luv Ontario Canada Thankyou 🐝🇨🇦
I bought jeans following their size chart. Three people could have fit in them. Why have a size chart?
The comment about "That's why I buy sweatpants" hit the nail on the head
Usually plus sizes are only offered online. It becomes quite a hassle to find your own size in each brand.
AE believe 34/38 is oversized. 6'1 220 is over size to them. 😅
Same with tall sizes, so frustrating.
You should do a show on how to find "no-stretch" jeans. After three wears, mine are falling down.
Look for 100% cotton jeans. That’s all you need to do!
Also stop bedazzling jeans on the back pockets, it ruins leather seats, car seats, sofas and wood chairs...
I think the vanity sizing thing backfired over time. I can't stand entering a mall anymore after wasting so much time trying on clothing. I haven't changed in size for the last 15 years, so I simply purchase a bulk amount of the same kind of blue jean (when on sale or priced right) and only bring out a new pair once I retire an old pair. Buying clothing this way means I haven't been in a mall to make clothing purchases in years and I Have a great stockpile of blue jeans for years to come. However in doing this, I have seen how the quality of jeans has fallen off completely in the last decade for the brand I bought.
Man I wish I had the foresight to have done what you did.
Im a short Guy and recently discovered that Levis are the jeans that Best fits my uncommon body
I dont shop a lot, but Ive realized a long time ago that different brands of clothing varies a little bit in their sizes despite of what the tag says. I thought it was just due to the varying styles of the clothing between different manufacturers. its interesting to know that its just due to the silly marketers.
Uniqlo has stretchy jeans. Love them! Definitely recommend for anyone who’s looking for some.
I try everything on before I buy because of the sizing difference.
It was interesting to see that the Old Navy jeans were the correct size. Their sizes vary from style to style so I can't just buy my size and be guaranteed the jeans will fit. Since they're more of a budget brand and you tend to get what you pay for sometimes the size will vary from colour to colour, or vary between production lots. I find it frustrating to buy from them since they only sell the tall sizes online, have to buy multiple sizes and return what doesn't fit.
Ultimately, we never want to face reality even at shopping.
I had a baby at the beginning of the pandemic. I tried ordering jeans online. The sizing was way off from what their size guides said they were. I couldn't go in stores to return or try on jeans. It's so annoying! I wish they would put the correct sizes online, and on the actual jeans.
I've never met anyone who didn't know most brands aren't true to size, I really don't get how anyone would care about their clothing sizes because the companies don't care to be standardized, if everything was standardized they'd sell more efficiently, people wouldn't be afraid to buy online also.
What? You did not test the larger person stores? (Pennington's?; Addition Elle?) 🤷♀️ Or Mark's Workwear house? 🤦♀️ Those are pretty big jean sale stores.
Larger person stores?
Wrangler or the discount version Rustler seem to be right on for me. It pays to try on in person.
This is why I leave after trying in three to four pair. It’s just too frustrating to find a pair that fits since they don’t fit per the size marked.
01:18 well for a start, no one wears jeans around their waist, they wear them around their hips, unless it's a high waist cut for a woman. So maybe better to get the hip measurements, we're people actually wear them.
We're not all Simon Cowell 👖
Are people upset you have to actually try on jeans before you buy? Not sure what the issue is here. I go out and try on a couple pairs, always walk away with one when I need it. Costco you can return them ages down the road too.
Vanity sizing should be banned, and the penalties inaccurate labeling should be exponentially increased with the size of the company that owns the brand. We should assume that large corporations like Levi's have more than adequate resources top ensure that their clothes are correctly labeled for size, and if they engage in this kind of practice they should be punished enough that they they stop doing it. Or soon go bankrupt from the size of the fines.
As far as I know which jeans suit a larger -largest sizes I know this is the place to be. I not gonna go to anew shop to look out again.
It depends of the style of jeans one buys. I buy only GAP from these brands, so cannot speak for the rest. But GAP is OK for me. I wear 26R or 27R and I buy most of the jeans online. I read the reviews and and choose between 26 or 27 and they 95% of the time fit great. It matters also the body type. I'm not straight and not super curvy, although curvy style fits better. So, I guess once you don't fit a "standard" type you might have issues with jeans in general.
Same nightmare I wonder where they make the jeans and in General all the clothes cause it doesn’t match the body sizes mostly it’s not for curves or not to enhance them
I bet they lose millions in online sales due to people scared of incorrect sizing, very dumb corporations.
Excused me. I found at 'Mark's' were my favourite brand "Wind Rivers". "Wind Rivers" is not just a jeans 👖 pants but it protect the warmth inside.
Each Brand aren’t what they use to be anymore down hill.
So annoying. I gained roughly 5 lbs from when I was in university in the late 90s and now. Meanwhile, I sizing is smaller now than it was back then. Think is I’m 120lbs, 5ft8 and it’s already hard to find clothing to fit my waist vs length of my legs. But what used to be a medium top in the 90s is now x-small. Waists of 6 or 8 in the 90s is now 0 or 00! As I am NOT invisible, this makes no sense to be wearing a 0 or 00 waists. In jeans, I look for 24 or 25 when I used to pick up 27 or 28 WHEN I WAS THINNER!
old navy P12 fits me the best and why not it's cheap!
It's kind of backwards tho because I've seen a huge rise in sweatpants so it's seems we're all collectively fed up with trying to find jeans that fit so wouldn't companies that make jeans just lose more and more money as time goes on?
Yay, Old Navy for the win! I already buy the majority of my jeans from there, especially if they're on clearance. I don't need companies to coddle me about my size , I know I'm a big girl. I'm actually eating fried chicken and biscuits right now.
You need to loose weight otherwise you will see how bad it’s with your health and movement
I have a hell of a time finding jeans that fit. Not as much because of waist but because I am a tall guy with big legs. All pants have trended towards skinny legs. Even the ones that are supposed to be relaxed fit are really tight to the point that I can't pull them any higher than my knees because the calf is way too narrow.
I find cheaper pants aimed at carpenters even if they're just normal jeans are often very wide legged I haven't looked to see how tall though, they're often shorter than other brands I suppose to make old carpenters feel tall.
I just go to resale place and find what I like good value and fit value
Aura jeans. Cannot beat them for fit and comfort!
'Venity sizing' - up until a few years ago it was the opposite (shrinking sizes). This is actually better.
I don't shop much anymore, but I usually went in and pick 3: the size, one above and one below.
With a recession and inflation on the rise...I don't even buy new jeans...always thrift shops and someone broke them in already and sometimes you get lucky the length is perfect and you don't have to pay extra to put a hem on.
I’ve been a old navy jean/leggings gal for years
Has anyone noticed that Lululemon sizing is starting to run super small for what the number says?
Yes. I’m a 6 but need an 8 or 10.
For me , old navy jeans always have my size correct
Don't they shrink?
I tried on old navy jeans one time. Was a 6 in one pair and a 12 in the other. Both fit well. Go figure. Cheap crap.
People may ignore weight gain, because they had been mislead by these false jean sizes. Totally unacceptable.
Old Navy
Dollar General jeans sizes are not same on size label.
That closing line of "do your research" is mostly bullshit. Work a 40h a week job, take care of your children and also "do your research" on the jeans you buy, the food you eat, the added charges on your bill, the person doing your oil change... on and on companies will screw you and you need to have the time to research and read every damn thing you buy and do. Its just not achievable for the added person. This is why we have customer protective services.
That why u stick with what u know
No wonder my new size 30s are falling down all the time 🤦♂️
I'm definitely boycotting the ones that didn't fit the size. It's in inches; it's not some arbitrary unit! Get your act together. This is a sign of absolutely garbage marketing and a business practice that doesn't care about the customer.
I vanity size to pantyhose size a ,eggs nononsense sidelining available at retail stores
Unless you're 6'2 and 120lbs, good luck.
Yay top 6 comments and top 52 likes. Love this series. Best to all. Happy holidays!!!!!🦃🎃🍃🍀🌲🍁🍂❤️🦃🎃🦃
Lee jeans the best fit
Very Interesting 🤔
“Popular brands…Wrangler, Lee…”
Maybe they're taking into account the shrinkage after wash???
that what i dislike is sizing of jean noone should be ashamed of size, shape and body type. Bluenote, urban planet. fit big or bigger. why not measure them the one jean of 32 size (if it 34 in) then added correct size on that jeans. regardless styles it not justified enough excuse. same goes dress shirt, t shirt as well are one size smaller than it should be in bluenote and urban planet(kids sizing included) M is L, L is XL like come on. for length of M shirt that trying to be larger need sleeve but maybe that the style people don't want short sleeve but at the same time aren't comfortable with tank sleeveless shirt. some t shirt length can marginally be longer.....styles make impact in sizing.
There are different styles as well. Low raise, bootlegs etc etc all have different sizes
Is not one size fit all.
I had to start getting kids jeans because sizing is so incorrect.
With jeans being so inconsistent I prefer to wear jogging pants & Yoga pants.
Her pronunciation of”Marie-Eve”
A&F still exists????
Or simply bring ur own tape measure
This is a real problem! Good subject! I say anything over $100 should be exactly your size! There needs to be bigger fines for lying 🤥! I always figured it was shotty craftsmanship!
Another reason not to buy jeans on-line
she is considered curvy yet i love her shape!
That's why I don't bother looking for jeans anymore. Waste of time & never fit right.
What a ridiculous report!
is there Nothing else in the world keeping you awake other than this problem?
This is silly. If you measure a 34 waist for example and the jeans are ment to sit lower on your hips and (not the natural waist), of course it will measure larger.
They're supposed to take that into account where the jeans should sit though. I usually wear 27in jeans no matter what type.. curvy jeans definitely fit bigger though
Chicken corn and potato soup
You want a real scam go after kfc they are cutting pieces in half and charging full pop for buckets of chicken I know this because my father loves fried chicken from all the companies I’ve preferred from kfc was the only one doing this. You know the end is near when chicken is a concern lol jeans come on people try your clothes on first and keep trying until something fits right. Like this is a huge problem not!
The average waist size for male Canadians is 38??? WTF? Canada needs to get in better shape. Average height of a male is 5'9...with a 38 inch waist... Wow. Unhealthy.
And the wimen lol
34 and 38 inches are not the avg waist size, avg is about 30 and 32.
I was gonna say .. my waist is 27 as a woman I'm definitely not that below average. 34 and 38 seem too big .. maybe for the states
Women or men ? You have an Asian last name... your "average" is a lot different little guy.
Vanity sizing? It's plainly lying 🤥
first?
Research and test fit
Look what you like don't go for fashion what you like is your fashion
Try being plus size!!! 🤦♀️😳🥴
Different jeans fit differently. Thanks CBC. Our tax dollars at work
Can we get a refund on the CBC? this is absolutley a ridiculous use of our tax dollars.
Who wears jeans? They look outdated and just bad to be honest.
Probably why this video is a thing, nobody is buying jeans anymore
Vanity sizing is just lying.
