Can the American mall survive?

I generally prefer shopping for clothing in-person over online shopping. It's just too hard to get the fit right online without some luck and the back-and-forth of returns and re-orders. I had to get a dress shirt and pants ASAP for a funeral recently when I realized my old ones no longer fit. I went to the mall, and I had to go to multiple stores to find something that I liked and that fit well, but I found it -- without having to drive all over to visit multiple stores, and without having to wait for shipping and/or deal with returns.

I don't visit malls often, but I can see some value in having them around.

True. Clothes are perhaps the only thing that can be hard to shop online. However, getting the wrong fit when shopping online is kind of understandable. The real frustration for me comes from brands that fail to size their clothes properly. How hard is it to make all jeans models of your brand to measure the same waist-wise and length-wise?

Pretty hard when they're 'brands' and not actually making anything, I imagine.
