it's of funny and stupid in a way that ... Options

I bought an American Eagle Polo Sz. Medium and it looks like if it actually fits me perfectly. But when I bought this Air Jordan Polo at Macy's Sz. Medium as well, that one fits like a f**king XL. Why are size fits different from every brand/store. I don't get it, is it because the preppy stores make tight ass clothes and others don't?

Just a different way of doing things I guess No two brands are alike... maybe that's how they decide to set themselves apart from each other. That's a reason why I always try clothes on before I buy them.

I guess because there's no standard size chart. It's the same way with shoes, how I can wear an 8, 8 1/2, or 9 depending on the shoe company.

Refer to Ecko vs. Hollister.

It depends on the store's style.
I guess like Arjuna Capulong said, Ecko sells 'gangster' clothing which is usually more loose and baggy versus the preppy Hollister clothing which is tighter.

Also, companies sell clothes by decreasing the size number to appease women. Women who buy size 0 pants today would have been like a size 12 in the 1960's (I'm not sure if those numbers are completely accurate)

^Next time, just please say, "hip-hop" or "urban" instead of classifying ecko's clothing as "gangster"

I've actually wondered the same thing for a while.
Because sometimes stores size things so differently, I make sure to always try things on.

Eh, sorry. Didn't mean to be offensive.

Its just the style of things in AE
Most people who shop at AE like fitted clothes (not saying all)

Little skinny girls shop
at those stores? IDK,
that`s just what I`VE
noticed.

And that really bothers
me. ;/ Because it seems
like everytime I buy a
size1, they get bigger
and bigger? ;x

so they make larger people feel better about themselves. happy customers = more profits.

I guess it depends on the customers those stores usually get... Cheaper stores tend to have bigger sizes, and more expensive stores tend to have really small sizes.
