Show HN: Compare How Pants Fit Without a Size Chart

Hey everybody. A little bit about this.<p>My partner and I have been creating a database of over a thousand pant measurements that we&#x27;ve personally gathered over the past year or so. We&#x27;ve found it irritating that the only way to shop for apparel is pretty much by trial and error (fitting rooms, manually looking at size charts and hoping that they&#x27;re accurate). I have a super small waist-to-hip ratio (and a super small waist) for a man, so I run into two problems<p>1. Usually stores don&#x27;t carry the right waist size for pants I want to buy, so I can&#x27;t try them on.<p>2. When I buy online, stuff that&#x27;s in my size is usually too tight around the seat of my pants.<p>That&#x27;s why I thought it&#x27;d be fun to create a way of browsing pants that let you see the differences between two pairs of pants so you could figure out if something is even worth trying to buy.<p>Over the past couple days, my partner and I put together a tool in D3 that overlays pants and compares their measurements everywhere.<p>Let me know what you think, and let me know if you have any technical questions about it.
