Do you guys reckon they will start using AI models in the not too distant future? Frankly, looking at the new offerings I thought a couple of models looked a little AI-ish. I mean, theoretically it should be possible fairly soon with all the recent advancements. 2D and 3D demonstrations of the new suits and jackets shouldn't be too difficult considering the technology is basically here. It would be cheaper to make the computer program do it for you than hiring actual physical models.

Possible joking aside, although I am fairly serious, it does look like they have been using more airbrushing lately possibly not just on models but the actual items to make them look more appealing. I received a jacket recently and it didn't really look like the picture. It was a return fairly quickly... I'm kind of already looking forward to fall/winter merchandise for next season

How can they justify the ever-increasing price of the custom made programme when the number of customisation options keeps getting smaller?

I anticipate runway shows just using hologram models at some point.

On top of the fact that the full canvas option is only 2-layer as opposed to 4-layer, I haven't the faintest idea. Disappointing to see one of the more robust custom made webstores moving this direction.

Ugh, now the custom shirt designer has removed the option for the collar interlining. Time for a strongly worded email to their customer support, this can't go on!

This should be renamed the "whining about SuitSupply" thread.
Truth is SS isn't a compelling option like it was 10 years ago, given their cutting down on offerings, their confusing product lineup, and price raises. Much better options in the market. Main thing they have going for them is accessibility/scale.
