the wonders of mislabeling

jebbypalSo, I have a pair of Arizon Jeans that I ADORE. When I went looking for another pair of the same type, I quickly realized they were phasing out that style for....more ghetto-y looks which I hated.
So I went online to buy another pair. Got the same size and the same style. I just tried them on.
THEY DON'T FIT. And when I say they don't fit, I mean they won't even come all the way up. Double checked to see that I got the same size. Yep.
Held them up to compare to my faves --- they appear the same length, but the waist is at least a half inch, if not a full inch, smaller.
WTF??
Did I manage to purchase the lone-pair of mislabled jeans? I mean, I knew the size looked to small by number, but whatever, it's not like there's anything consistent about brand sizing. And I hadn't bought a pair of arizonas for a few years at the time.
But this, this is ridiculous. Sigh. And of course, the size up from it doesn't exist, so if I really want to try to get another pair, I have to cross my fingers and hope that two sizes up won't fall off my ass. And pay the shipping and handling to do so.
At least the levis fit meh.
