What is with Jeans sizing?!

[rsbmw]

So I'm in the market for some new denim, very council - I know. Quite like the look of the Boss (brand, not gentleman I work for) stuff so I pop into a local shop yesterday where they have only a couple of styles, Orange in '58' style and Black in 'Maine2'. Try both on in a 34/32 and whilst both fit fine, the relaxed fit of the 58 is a little too relaxed and I don't like the colour of the Maine2.

Fast forward to today, I pop into John Lewis at lunch time, they don't have any Orange but carry 'Maine' and 'Maine2', both 'regular fit', in a variety of colours. Trying on the Maine, again in 34/32 they are far too small, very different to yesterdays pair. Annoying, but perhaps 'Maine' and 'Maine2' are significantly different - but no the 'Maine2' are exactly the same. Since they don't have either style I like in a 36, I leave, irritated.

I can understand variance between brands, annoying as it is. I can even tolerate variance between different cuts of the same brand, but seriously the same brand/style having such a difference is infuriating. Anyone else find sizing a complete pain in the arse, or did I really manage to gain a stone in 24 hours?! This is why I won't shop online for clothes.

I think you're looking for the womens/childrens section with those measurements!
