>> Steve and Sam are secure, so they don't need to over-inscribe. They can grab skills as they see need for them. <<
Yes, exactly. That's one reason why I write Steve occasionally doing girl things and not minding it. So he can cook, sew, clean, etc. It was work that he could do even when he was small and frail. He always felt like a man inside, and that was enough for him, unless somebody was trying to treat him as less. Then he got plucky about it.
>> And it was WWII that started men's sizing, though it's been expanded. There was a bad period when the low price point no longer ran large enough (Japan didn't think XL should be as much bigger than L as it took to get a long torso covered.) <<
It's good that sizing is better now. If you look hard enough, you can find places that are very precise. I'm sure the Avengers will get Steve there eventually.
