My only charitable theory is that vendors order clothing in batches with only a general description being passed between batch runs. No CAD drawlings in the whole industry.
But all of my 3 pants must have been from the same batch but still deviated more than 1 inch in waist size to the previous specimen. So one was too small to wear, the other needing a belt.
They also cut the fabric multiple layers high with a giant stamping tool. The more layers of fabric they cut at once the more variance there is between top layer and bottom layer but the cheaper the process is. Higher quality cheap brands will advertise that they only cut x amount vs what the competitors cut so they have less variation.
