1. A method for optimizing individually tailored garments of the same type, the method including the steps of:
a. measuring at least one body part and generating a first data set for manufacturing a first garment, including measured data of the body part,
b. manufacturing the first garment based on the first data set, wherein the first garment comprises at least one passive, machine readable indicator element via which properties and/or changes of the first garment due to the use of the first garment by a user can be determined as a binary code,
c. use of the first garment by the user,
d. examining the used first garment with regard to changes due to use by the user for production of a second garment of the same type, thereby
generating a second data set containing measured data of the used first garment,
comparing the second data set with the first data set,
checking the passive indicator element with regard to information relevant to the production of the second garment,
e. generating a third data set based on the first data set, the second data set, and the result from the passive indicator element check,
f. manufacturing the second garment based on the third data set, and
g. repeating as necessary the previous method steps d) to f), starting from the respective last garment produced and used, for further optimization of the fit and/or the properties of a next garment to be produced.
