I can not for the life of me believe that every man in America is an even size after size 33 in pants. Why is it that I can only find 34/32 or 36/32? I am a size 35/31. Have been for years. Either there are a lot of guys my size that beat me to the stores, or the pants people don't get it. I see stacks and stacks of 48/34 or 33/31. But I have to pay twice for a pair of pants because I have to buy 36/32 and have them altered. What's with that?
In addition, I have noticed some stores no longer carry half sizes in some shoes. I normally wear an 8 1/2. i see something I like and all I can find is 8 or 9. But I can find a lot of 10 1/2 or half sizes after that. I have to settle for something I don't necessary care for just to get something that fits. And when you see something on the shelf you like, one would think you could find the corresponding style number somewhere in that stack of boxes. Nope, not there.
The odd thing is the over stock of those things that are too big for me. Why can't the manufacturers, or the buyers at the department stores, reduce the number of big sizes and increase the number of my sizes?
It's just no fun winning the 30% off lottery when there is nothing you want to buy.
