yes, that already exists.... I used MTaylor, a while ago (download the app, scan your body via the camera), and the shirts came in perfectly fitted to my body.

The jeans, not so much (they still need to work on it), but for shirts they were spot on. I will never buy 'off the rack' shirts anymore.

I'm familiar, but MTailor is a standalone brand. I'm dreaming of a world where I can see any piece/brand of clothing and not even think about the size or fit. It's just taken as a given that I can see it on myself (AR?) and get one that fits me perfectly. The clothing outlets, last stalwarts of strip malls, would be a thing of the past. No such thing as needing to "try it on" anymore.

Everyone has different fitting issues. My main one is waist length/width and shoulder width. I'm 6'2" and fit so the waist of most shirts barely go below the top of my jeans and getting the shoulders to fit often means having a parachute around my waist. It looks dumb and clothing fit is extremely important to overall appearance. There's a lot of disruption to be had in this space.

Edit: to be slightly more clear, I'm thinking of technology to replacing the incumbent infrastructure/processes/consumer experience, as opposed to just creating a new specialty brand.

Does it only work in the US or is there an offering for EU/Germany as well? Ordering pants online is a nightmare, as retailers do not know what length and width are.
