dear old navy:

Thanks for sending the stuff I ordered so promptly.  I really appreciate it.

Here's the thing, though.  I know you kind of do your own thing when it comes to sizes.  I'm generally a size larger in Old Navy clothes than anywhere else, top and bottom, and I'm fine with that, because I've come to terms with the meaninglessness of numbers and so on, and although I might disagree with the size as an objective standard I admit the stuff fits fine.  So you can probably imagine my frustration with the fact that you appear to have abandoned all internal consistency.  The shirts I just bought are, hmm, a little on the roomy side -- not out of control, and I shouldn't go a size down, but they certainly don't fit the same as other shirts I have in that exact size and cut -- but I know it's not because of some miraculous weight loss on my part, because a) I have not miraculously lost that kind of weight and b) the jacket I just bought, with the same size label on it as the shirts, is a little snug.

WTF, Old Navy?  Why you got to hurt me like that?
