Random questions to which you seek an answer

@Cymro what do you mean by "better"? Better than checking with the crew? Highly unlikely. It also depends on the individual measurements of an item, as well as the cut you are looking at. Overall, too many variables to give a definitive answer imo

…also, it depends on the material, treatment, cut, etc. Never a given and always best to refer to the published measurement provided in the charts.

Not a pair of trousers, but regarding jackets my A2 is an XL, my 14oz OD type is XXL, my Lefty OD is XXXL. So kind of illustrates what @goosehd mentioned above

For future reference, I would do exactly what you did this time....

Sorry, did not mean better than checking. What I meant was would it be more likely for the IH crew find ing a ‘small’ version of a size or a ‘large’ version if Iwas looking for the ‘in between’ sweet spot on the measurement.
I thought that what they did for me was really fantastic and i really appreciated it, and, even though I haven’t got many IH items, I’ve realised to check measurements and ignore the Tag Size!
I was thinking of future orders (which there undoubtedly will be some!!)

@Cymro I think if for some reason the item you were looking for ended up being sewn up a little smaller than usual,then you’d have a better chance of finding a smaller version of the larger tag size for that particular garment,and conversely if it sewed up larger. Not sure you can guess the answer to this question ahead of time. To circle back see Giles’s response..

@Cymro one thing to keep in mind that I learned from my sizing queries with the crew, a smaller or larger individual garment will probably never have measurements that exceed the adjacent tag size. So if a 32 has a 13 inch thigh and a 31 has 12.5 thigh an individual 32 size garment would highly unlikely have a 12.5 inch thigh or smaller (just random made up example numbers).
