Women's jackets have number sizes?
Yeah and they mean next to nothing because every brand decides what their numbers mean.
I've always heard other women have this problem, but I've personally only ever experienced it with expensive brands like designer stuff, which designers for some reason think all women are so tiny that their size 18 should only be just barely big enough to fit a middle school girl.
Cheap stuff, especially stuff I find at walmart and such, seems extrodinarily consistent, to the point where I just pick up my size or one higher if they don't have it, and don't even bother to check if it fits.
Shoe sizes however... I'm 99% sure those are supposed to be standard, and yet I've found size 9s and size 12s that were the same size. Got sick of it and now I only buy men's shoes unless I need something fancy. Even then, logger boots are fancy enough to me.
The more you pay, the smaller they'll pretend you are.
You over estimate how organized they actually are. You can buy 2 items from the same brand, in the same size and have one fit perfectly, and the other not even close.
This is generally quality control issues and it is obscenely rampant throughout most of retail clothing.
If you're interested in buying a new pair of jeans, grab a few of the exact same size off the shelf and try them all on before making your choice or moving to a different size. It's insane how much they differ (and while you're at it double check that both of the legs are the same length).
I'm told they do in America. But their sizes are weird.
Here it's just M, L, XL....
