Sizing isn't really quantified at all. Brands use vague terms like "Small, Medium, and Large" that aren't even consistent within the brand, and depend on the cut and particular style.

Mass-produced clothing sizing is certainly inexact. But the body measurements for an individual are reasonably well specified.

What does “body measurements for an individual are specified” mean? Like body measurements on the size charts are specified? Those don’t tell one of the clothing will fit, only that there’s a possibility it will fit. And in reality the ranges they give are far too wide.

And one can specify their body measurements all they like, but it barely helps selecting a size online or even in store.
