And I drive my wife crazy by walking into the mens dept at sears, picking 5 things off the rack, walking to the counter, paying for it, and going home. When they come out of the washing machine, they fit. Once every 5 years or so I try one thing on (to measure what too much crap food and not enough good exercise has done to my waist and hips).
I can do this because mens clothing (pants in particular) is measured in inches in 2 or more places. Generally speaking there's a choice of fits on top of that, so I can buy "semi-custom" clothes off the rack.
Why this doesn't happen in women's clothing is a mystery to me. (Admittedly y'all would need a few more measurements - vive la difference).
