The reason the store asked you to leave was because three of their young sales girls left with you!!

"AX B" is not a US size. That should have been a tipoff. Walmart sells competitive products at low prices. They sell Wrangler jeans (very good quality) at the lowest prices in the country. But if you buy even cheaper off-brand products, you get what you pay for.

WOW! 3 pages of posts about Wal-Mart jean sizes.
Solution - take a pair that fit with you, hold up that pair against the one you are looking at and see if they match. If yes, then buy. If no try another of a different size.

Brand name jeans are made for Walmart to their own specs much like items made exclusively for Home Depot.
Open up a Moen faucet from a plumbing supply store and you will find brass, open up the “same faucet” sold at Home Depot and you will find plastic.
Wranglers made for Walmart are cut short. So I buy them elsewhere and they fit perfectly.

Bill,
I went to Penny's on Sunday and bought a couple of made in Pakistan T-shirts size XX-L.
Got home and tried on. Way to small so got ta go back and exchange them. Maybe those Pakistanis are really little folks...

Probably made in Asia where L might be size 30... Had the same problem!

Since apparel manufacturing was out-sourced to Asia, the body models used for sizing for most men's clothes are not the typical male body that was used when clothes were manufactured in the USA. I've found that men's clothes fit like they were modeled on an adolescent body and just upsized slightly for grown ups. The shoulders are too tight, the short sleeves are too short, the arm holes too small, and the lengths make them difficult to keep tucked into your pants. Also, for cotton knit underclothing, they invariably shrink unevenly and end up coming out of the drier warped in some manner.

You have to try on clothing all the time now the same size fits differently sometimes from the same company. It's a pain!

Apparently no computer folk here - AxB gives the size in hexadecimal, base 16. So, in decimal that works out to 10x11.
Cheers...

Here is a good rule to remember whether buying jeans or almost anything else. "It is price that will bring you through the door in the first place, but it is service that will bring you back through"

For one it's probably made in a socialist country where they use slave labor. Secondly, there sizing charts are close, but not close enough to ours to count. Thirdly, they make them like McDonalds does their food; hurry up and get the stuff out and the hell with the way it looks (fits in this case). Lastly, their workers are probably getting .02 cents and hour. Solution: Buy American made items. Wally-World is known for "junk" consumer items. I buy American and true it does cost a bit more, but it outlasts the other junk out there. Just read those labels to find out where the stuff you want to buy is made.

Time to grow up. Global makers of men's or women's or teens' or children's clothes do not follow the exact same guidelines of sizing their clothes. You discovered this. Same is true with "department store" brands. You find a brand/style that fits you well and should continue to buy it. You try other brands, you will find some that do not fit as you expect. - This is the 'state of the game' in 2021. You are part of it.
(Too bad you couldn't try on the jeans at the store before purchasing. This is the same problem I have for items from Costco, for example. (But no condemation of Costco. Just the way the game is played!)
