You mean that somewhere in the world there's someone that might sell size 30 pants as standard? Both my husband and older son (and my younger son's heading that way) are this size, and they mostly have to end up in 32s with a belt (or in my 16yo's case, size 32 around his hips with his

I quite agree - I am a very strange shaped person, the upper half of my body can fit in a boys 18-20 fairly well, the lower half needs a ladies 10 short rise 32 inseam (or a Petite sz 10 with extra leg length). I need boy's shirts because they have 4 extra inches in the torso, 3 extra inches

An observation that I thought interesting- We live in NJ. It is easy to find inseam lengths for men that are 36 inches. VERY difficult to find 28 or 30 inch inseams. Years ago, we took a vacation to Hawaii. We stopped by the Alamoana Mall's Sears store. Lo and behold- LOTS of 28 inseam

Thank you for that article... very interesting. Now what the retailers are missing is the opportunity to expand, and raise their sales. Imagine... A large chain adopts the Fitlogic system. Inside their stores, they create separate boutiques, or even a small independent entity. One for each

God forbid, stores cater to the older than 20 crowd! If this idea were to actually fly, how many women would take up the shopping hobby? I'd like to see what sort of percentage of women are these stores missing by continuing to ignore this market. I for one would love to be able to go into
