Yes, but these are exactly the same except for the colour of the fabric! Same style, product code, size ordered but a different colour.
Could be the mysterious Orient, I reckon sh!t quality control.
I have given up ordering clothes from random online sources, as I've been disappointed so many times in the last year or so.
Nowadays I stick to businesses I've had a mail-order history with in the past.
Hell is too comfortable for the evil swine who yesterday penetrated all the security programs and hacked our email address list, sending a spoof - but convincing - party invitation to everyone. I got it from the session clerk of our church who was unaware she had sent it to me. It may even have reached one or two shipmates, to whom I helplessly apologise. I hope is just coincidence that our bank account was hacked around the same time. If not, then we are in real trouble.
... and people wonder why I still wear the clothes of my yoof.
Sadly the clothes of my youth have not fitted me for many years, and the ones I have been wearing for the past 10 years are becoming rags in increasing numbers.
I had hoped they would 'see me out', but I appear to be outliving many of my possessions - particularly underwear !
I can now, at 68, wear the clothes I had when I was half that age, but I put on weight since then until I was in hospital for three months. In the interim all my clothes from my thirties had been disposed of and I now have a new wardrobe! A few ties are only memories of those days.

A tailorette (seamstress) I've worked with for many years, professionally well trained, tells me there can be discrepancies in the same factory, even between people working side by side: one piece with exact specs, while another item made by someone else will be slightly, or quite a bit, different.
Luckily, I've rarely had that myself with some of the more stylish clothing, like Brook Taverner (UK), but it clearly can happen. With them, returns are possible.
I imagine companies with less stringent QC and with less experienced, i.e. cheaper labourers, will have wildly bigger variations.
I bought a pair of jeans from a well-known and respected High Street store. They fit well.
Later I bought another pair of the same pattern and didn't bother to try them on. That was a mistake as they seem to be quite bit bigger. A mistake in labelling, perhaps?
A while back I bought a pair of navy blue trousers in that well known bastion of British sartorial good sense M&S, and they were so perfect I went back and got a (supposedly identical) black pair.
Were they perfect? They were not: even a pair two sizes bigger wouldn't go round me. I was Not Pleased.

Yes, it's amazing how fast one gains weight, isn't it...!

This is a problem I've been encountering in M and S for quite some time.
Whenever I want to try something on I have to take several of the same size in a chosen item in the hope of finding one that might fit.
Somewhat frustrating!

I am currently wearing items from my yoof which fit perfectly. I think I got them when I was 19, and here I am, still wearing them.
Admittedly they are earrings. But still! They still fit!
However, I would be able to wear clothes from my younger days, if I had them, as I weigh slightly less now than I did when I was 25.

Really sorry to hear of the hassles. - Annoying!
Absolutely!

I have the body of a man half my age.
I really must get rid of it before the neighbours wonder what the smell is.
Bad Jokes thread is up that way ^^^
