As someone >90th percentile in height and >75th percentile in weight for the US, I’ve found in the last 5 years I now no longer fit into most “Large” size clothing and need to buy more “Medium” sized clothing. I haven’t lost/gained weight nor shrunk(that I’m aware of). Statistically, numerically and culturally this seems strange.
Anyone else find sizes that “should” or “used to” fit have morphed and you now shop different sizes where your body size hasn’t changed?

Pants are so annoying to try to buy. Every brand/version currently avaliable is a slightly different size even with the measurements so it’s hard to try to buy them during sales in bulk online. I’m pretty active for work and have bigger thighs so I go through pants more often than the normal person, but even with that I feel like quality is getting worse causing more of those issues, especially unsuspecting shrinkage. I like the lees extreme motion pants but have noticed if I buy 2 pairs online one will be slightly more narrow than the second pair when it’s both the same pant
Levi’s is a brand where I noticed size differences, even with identical pants, where the only difference is country of manufacture
