One Two Three Four, I Proclaim Something War

[superbadgirl]

I stopped by Old Navy to pick up clothes for my sponsored kids. While there, I decided I'd buy a pair of jeans. I wear a certain size and have purchased pants there recently in said size.

But the new cuts of ON jeans are redonkulously small. I couldn't even zip the effers up! Comparing them to the certain size ON jeans I already own revealed that their new jeans sizes shave off three inches around the hip, and probably the waist.

Good grief. How is that going to help anyone? It can't be vanity sizing, or I'd suddenly be wearing a size smaller, not a size bigger, right? I confess I don't really understand vanity sizing. Just give us fucking measurements, mmkay?

It's the same reason why the shirts are all now see through. Less fabric = less money = lower cost. Everyone knows the sizing counts for nothing, so why bother going by that anyway? ;)

But what about the poor women who used to wear the largest size ON offers? They're going to find their jeans elsewhere and cost ON profit.
