There was a ‘startup’ that planned for the client to take a bunch of measurements and would then manufacture a garment to those. A post, which floated on HN, detailed why it turned out to not be too feasible.
Edit: it was ‘Getwear’, found the name through the design company portfolio. They specialized in jeans. Alas, since the site is dead, I can't locate the postmortem, only this article in Russian: https://vc.ru/offline/6359-getwear-close https://vc.ru/offline/6359-getwear-close
Basically, it seems that the demand just isn't there.
- paulie_a 6y agoThere is a suit company that does that already. Chino something. I've heard it's good but I don't have any first hand experience
- allengeorge 6y agoAre you referring to Indochino? (https://www.indochino.com/ https://www.indochino.com/)
- aasasd 6y agoSuits to measure aren't a new thing, but suits are expected to last for quite a while and thus they cost a bunch. Additionally, dunno about Indochino's web offering but they have offline shops where somebody takes measurements for you the old way, so apparently that's the experience many customers expect.
