Consistency Confusion

Clothes sizes have always varied. It's a simple fact of variation. But today I have been stunned. Today I had to take back a Quiksilver shirt because it was too small. This doesn't sound like a big deal until I mention that the shirt concerned was a large. I am buying an extra large shirts. To put this into perspective, I buy a small LLanelli Scarlets shirt. I am by no means an extra large person. The only conclusion I can draw is that the average Quiksilver shopper is extremely anorexic. It's about time shops call it a day and start using the same sizing scheme. Jeans are measured in waist and leg. You know your size, you know your jeans. Why can't they do this with shirts?
