Sharon,
That is great news! How do we go about fitting ourselves for the "MANY
more sizes"? Who do we contact? Any idea of the cost?

which you can try, and then they will tweak the closest fit for you
and keep
the info, so that whenever you want another pair, you just phone and
have
them sent.

Yeup... and I thought seriously about trying a pair... but in the end
found
another maker of jeans that fit - sigh - well enough, although I am
always
wanting the denim to be of a heavier weight.

Thank you for that article... very interesting.
Now what the retailers are missing is the opportunity to expand, and
raise their sales.
Imagine... A large chain adopts the Fitlogic system. Inside their
stores, they create separate boutiques, or even a small independent
entity. One for each body type. Stock the items that flatter that
body type the most in their respective sections. In larger chains you
could even have different stock for a particular body type in
different stores. If a customer finds something they like in one
section, but it is not their body type, allow them to order (or
request from another store) that item in the fit they want. This
wouldn't be anything revolutionary, major chains already swap
clothing around between stores.
How many women would love to have a store that they knew the items
would be a better fit. You see it already, women have brand loyalty,
if a line provides better fit.
Oooooh, just think about it... stores might actually have to sell
more items on style and quality if they took out the fit roulette.
Mari - still irked that Banana Republic stopped making "the perfect
fitting jean" in 1992.
