Nice article.

Michael Anton, author of The Suit, an outstanding book about men’s clothes, believes that nearly half of potential bespoke customers look at these websites, making them very important to the trade.

I never would guessed that the number was that high - half of potential bespoke customers check the various forums before ordering. If that's true, they have a much larger influence than I thought.

On the other hand, I thought that this number would have been higher.

Mine is probably three or four times as big as that minimum wardrobe.
