Solve this annoying issue by becoming fat and wearing shorts all the time.

The opposite issue for me: Big ass, big thighs, short legs.

I've given up and now I tend to just buy women's pants.

Yeah, I've had that problem. One of the nice things about Reddit was r/tallfashion -- acc had links to stuff with decent waist and inside leg. Have found some women's trousers pretty good for that too.

Ok, why the fuck are pockets sewn shut at all??? I'm a guy and I see clothes like this too. It pisses me off so much, it was so close to being useful, most of a pocket is already there, why would they just give up?

Of you open them is it just butt or is there a hidden pocket?

Probably for tax purposes.

When was the last time you measured your waist and then tried on a pair of pants?

Men's clothing has tones of vanity sizing these days.

It’s the same reason condoms sizes are all on the spectrum of large to extra large without actually providing a length and diameter.

In Germany the packaging indicates the [Edit: ~~diameter~~ half circumference] in millimeters ±2mm tolerance. Because, you know, size matters here.

I bought two pairs of jeans the other day, both exactly the same size, both the same style, but just different colors. The blank ones fit, the blue ones do not fit, explain that.

I’ve experienced the same issue, not just with the waist but also the inseam!

G-Star jeans are notorious for this; same style (eg. 5620s), same fit (eg. Skinny), different colours but different colours: I can fit in the 33, and 32, but the 34 is too small currently (I put in a few kg).

Nah. Mens pants sizes are just as wild and wrong as womens sizes.

Its vanity sizing, everywhere

I once bought 2 of exactly the same pants at the same time, after having the same one from a year earlier and liking it that much. They were both different to my original one and different to each other. I had to send the too tight one back and the replacement was different yet again. Seems like people just do not care enough that there is next to no standard.

It's 50% of how men's sizes work

Yeah, I wear 33W pants but they measure 36" around the belt loops. This isn't the result of vanity sizing, though - men used to wear pants that were very high-waisted, but as pants got lower over the decades they kept using the "nominal" waist measurement so that men would still know what size to buy, since the circumference around the hips (where most pants are cut today) is about 3" ~~less~~ more than the circumference of what used to be the waist.

Pleats are another useless holdover from the high-waisted era, as they made it easier for pants to expand down over the hips and thighs.

100% men's clothing are vanity sized and it's worked so well men didn't notice.

Yeah, t-shirts absolutely suck. I'm thin, tall, and like to wear my pants lower on my hips, so shirt length is absolutely essential. In most cases, L is an inch or so longer than M, so I get L even though M would fit my chest better. I honestly wish they would just make a size between M and L, like M+, which would be just be a bit longer M (like 2 extra inches).
