I can understand uniquely shaped clothes (halter tops, etc) but why not pants, skirts, suits, etc?

Adding to everything else, men’s sizes are often not even consistent across brands. I wear a size 36 suit pants but a size 34 cargo short? Last I checked, an inch is an inch, but not in pants.
Also, for suit pants, I have to go up to a size 38 usually and get it tailored so that it fits around my hips and thighs comfortably. If I get a size 36, it is too tight in the hips, but a size 38 is too loose in the waist and falls right off. Although I know that a general size range will fit, everything still needs to be tried on and likely tailored.
When I go shopping with my wife I see a similar disparity. She knows that a certain number will likely fit her, but very often she has to up or down to get a good fit. Interestingly, she hardly ever has to get something tailored to fit well, whereas I almost always do.
