How come my only choices for shirt sleeves are “32-33,” meaning 32, and “34-35,” meaning 35? I’m either Boris Karloff as the monster (sleeves 1.5 inches too short) or an adolescent wearing his dad’s shirt to prom (sleeves 1.5 inches too long). And why is it a range – ”32 to 33″? Are they guessing or does it fluctuate?
