why is it that i can buy 2 items of clothing, exactly the same size and style, one blue and one another color, the blue item fits snugger than the other? this has happened to me several times with shirts and pants.

Ooh, I actually know this one!! OK, when clothes are manufactured at plants for stores like Express or the Gap or something, they take the same garments and dye them all the different colors that they are going to offer. In order for the true color to "stick" on the garment, different shades must be dyed at different temperatures. The light colors (white, yellow, etc.) don't have to be dyed at nearly as hot of a temp as the darker colors (blue, black, etc.) in order for the color to take. For that reason, the darker colored garments will tend to shrink just a little more in production, causing a slightly snugger fit. This is also true of black leather shoes vs. brown leather shoes of the same style.

It happened to me as well! I noticed that the same style and size of 2 shirts I buy in different colors can fit differently. I looked at the label and (even though they are made by the same famous clothing company and same model # and size) one was made in Indonesia and the other was made in china! I ended up getting small shirt in pink and Medium in purple, very odd!
I was like (whoa!) so I guess it's because of the fact they are made in different manufacturers by many different people there!

You actually have a few options, one may work for you. 1. Depending on the Nike shirt if it has other colors in it, you can try bleaching it. To do this you would just throw it into the washer and bleach it like you would wash your whites. 2. Get a cleaner called Totally Awesome, the only place I have ever seen it is at places like Family Dollar. This type of cleaner removes tons of different stains. Just spray the cleaner on the shirt, let it sit for a while, wash, repeat if some staining is left, until fully removed. At this point the shirt is considered ruined, so it really can not hurt you to try other methods of trying to fix it.

Because different brands have different sizes it sucks but it is the cold hearted truth. what sucks even more is when it comes to pant sizes like if you are a size 10 and you have to buy a sizes 12 its that kind of thing different cuts

Perhaps if you continue to experience this long enough, you will start buying your blues in a larger size, just a suggestion. History isn't repeating itself here, you are repeating history by having the knowledge and not putting it to use.

Im not sure this is about the colour. There are certain size tolerances in every brand of clothing - i guess in the same way that two sizes of shoe that are the same are never identical.

maybe the process for dying fabric blue causes a bit of shrinking?

maybe the dyes in the blue fabric shrink up more?
