Jeans are sized by the inch (alas) in Germany and elsewhere, because they are from American origin )Levies); other trousers are not. Clothing sizes are a mess anyway. We are still waiting for sensible ISO standards for sizing clothing, that should ban the inch once and for all for all types of garments. Legally nothing can be done against it, as these are not units used for trade, but used as a size. lets hope for 2010.
