My mom gave me the awesome idea to keep a notebook of the sizes from each brand that fits me. I've been doing this my whole life and it has been a life saver.

This is the reason I still visit stores, much as I am loath to leave the cocoon. Shout out to lovely store assistants, they make a massive difference

Main problem is, when you are tall (1,92m to be exact) and Its almost impossible to find anything that fits.

Last time I had to buy pants I visited like 6 different stores in the next (quite big) city and I could not find a single pair of pants that was ling enough and did not cost 100€ per pair. I exclusively looked in the men's section, since there is no chance I Am ever going to find something in the women's section. After a frustrating day I just ended up ordering online.

I buy from the store the first time and buy online for subsequent items.

Another solution (under the assumption that they are consistent internally and across product lines)
