Do you think maybe clothing is size now inferred from an item's weight? Cut close enough and then bin by weight...?

Finding knit caps for my pumpkin sized head is challenging. I'd find a good fit but then couldn't reorder the same item.

I stumbled onto the notion of selecting by weight instead of the declared size. Success!

More recently, there was a HN thread about buying good jeans. I then noticed the better quality mfgs also include the fabric's weight in the item's blurb. Which I then used to inform my foraging.
