Is this a regular ecommerce valuation? Would be 2x revenue @150 Mio [1].

That multiple doesn't seem crazy for a relatively early stage ecommerce startup. But, I'm guessing the acquisition price was based more on Bonobos' private valuation. Bonobos has raised ~$125 million so a $310 million valuation would be reasonable.
