I bought two pair of Levis online. Same size and style as each other, and as the pair I had at home that convinced me I wanted more. All three pairs are radically different fits. The two pair came from different suppliers, shipped by $ONLINE_RETAILER.

It's not a paradise by any means.

I've had the same problem before. Store shopping as well. Sometimes I'll try on two colors of the same shirt and they'll fit much differently. The fix to this though is just to find the manufacturers that understand how important consistency is. It isn't easy.. manufacturing clothes is fairly imprecise, depending on methods used, but some companies care more than others.
