I'm noticing that Jeans, Dockers, etc. are becoming less consistent and reliable in size. I.e. a specific size used to be reliable, but over the last several years a certain inseam length, for example, can vary by as much as one and a half inches from the stated size.

Same for the waist; but I don't want to talk about that.

You or anybody else notice this? Perhaps it's just a figment of my imagination.

I know EXACTLY what you are talking about. So, I have adjusted my shopping accordingly .... If a store doesn't have my size jeans that fit ... I shop elsewhere...

But, seriously ... I have noticed a 2 inch variation in the waist measurements, and about a 1.5 inch variation in the length in the same brand, color and style of jeans; from the same rack. And I wonder, how can you mass produce anything with this much variation; and then claim you are producing efficiently? It seems like they just make pants, then sort the day's production into an arbitrary size range.
