There's also Lesara, a German startup, that sells online, and in 10 days from seeing a fashion item, can manufacture it, in Asia, and have it availble on it's online store(probably shipping by air from Asia). And they say it is cheaper.

The only question: is the future of fashion retail online ?

Altough even if it's not, they can probably change the business model, and sell to stores.

How the heck do people buy clothes online? Fit is incredibly important and sizes are usually useless as they vary so much even within the same brand. Even something like Indochino where they "custom tailor" it, the people I know who've used it have had to send back the suits at least 3 times to get them remade until they fit.

My so returns around 50% of the them. I don't really get it, never bought clothes online, I don't think I ever will...

Personally I've never had issues with fits from Bonobos. The actual measurements match up with the advertised sizes.

A friend of mine told me: You like a dress? Buy three sizes, return the two that didn't fit.

This is my SOP for shoes as well.
