I purchased some new shorts on Saturday, 34" waist and they were £14. So were the 28" and 44" waist versions.
How come that clothes don't cost what they cost? The amount of fabric in an xx-small t-shirt may be 1.5m sq m of fabric, the xxxl version may use 4 sq m of fabric. But they will both cost the same. If you went in to buy the fabric to make the shirt then you would be charged over twice the price.
Nothing else will be the same price for a bigger option, a McDonalds will cost more for large fries, a three seat sofa is more costly than a two seat one etc.
What is the costings behind that then, do they just average it out, so the bigger ones pay less, and the smaller ones pay slightly more?
