Maybe it’s your brand and source. I see sizes becoming less consistent, more brand specific. Men’s sizes used to be consistent but now it depends on brand.
- I get brands known for being over resized, because I need them and they’re more comfortable
- a lot of “normal” brands I have to size up, and ts still less comfortable
- others, notably cheap or souvenir t-shirts I might size up twice, or it may not be comfortable at any labelled size
However I’m taller than average which is part of it. For a cheap brand with no tall sizes, I might size up twice, it might even be hanging off me as oversized, yet way too short







Levi’s is a brand where I noticed size differences, even with identical pants, where the only difference is country of manufacture
