As technology advances, it becomes easier for us to standardize and quantize the fit of clothes in increasing dimensions. And so instead of one product having a certain cut and then it’s just got a few sizes, we could have a continuously variable design which could be produced in 10,000 sizes. Stores could carry popular sizes but any prospective buyer could check if they have their ideal fit range in stock in any items, or could order the correct size by mail. Of course the garment industry is still heavily reliant on human labor for manufacture and the model I describe would really only work if the process is basically fully automated. But it would be nice if my clothes didn’t rely on marginalized labor in Bangladesh so I’d like a fully automated source. Anyway you’re not wrong that it’s impractical with the current way of doing things, but it seems fully automated clothing production is advancing, so perhaps in 20 years it will be possible.
