I'm very glad men's pants and shorts are done by waist measurement, and is an actual measurement.
Shirt sizing has been pretty consistent as well, in my experience.

Maybe if you're getting it tailored or something but off the shelf it can be a crapshoot for us, too. I have "32" jeans that range from hanging off me to I can't wear them comfortably.
I've never had a medium shirt that didn't fit me.

Always get a size up and wash them hot to shrink to you
We're getting jackets as a christmas present from my employer and they had us fill out a size form. "Sizes are as usual."
Made me think of this.
Jokes on you I don't know what Letter/Number size I am, I just try some on and buy the one that fits
The last time I went shopping for pants it took a fabric tape measure.
Even as a guy, every pair was six to ten inches larger than listed in the waist.
Thank you
