It's less extreme but men's clothing is like this too. I found a cut of jeans I liked in a store then ordered 4 mor pairs in different colors. None fit the same and 2 were unwearable.

I wear size 34 cargo shorts.

There is no point near my waist that is even close to a tape measured 34 inches.

Its been a long time since I've actually been measured but I must be somewhere between 32 and 38 inches based on the pants in my closet. My 36/34 jeans fit the best. I have to wear a belt but they aren't so loose that they immediately hit the ground without on. I picked up a 34/34 pair. Same cut, wash, and color and they are wearable but they're tight at the waste and crush my balls a little when I sit. The inseam must be at least an inch shorter than the first pair.

The wonder of "relaxed fit"

I did the same! It was not jeans but pants that is supposed to look like they are a bit more formal but are more comfortable. From the website did I just pick 3 different colors of the same size but they all fit so differently, and one pair had much thicker fabric, felt more like they went "close enough" and called it a day lol
