Deck,
I tend to buy clothing (and footwear) online only when i know a specific brand and model and size. For example... I wear New Balance 6xx series cross-trainers, size 9.5 D. I can buy any variation of the 6xx series in 9.5 D and it's a near guarantee fit, even if it's the 609, 608, 620 variation. Same goes for a particular type of Gap jeans and muscle shirts from Nike.com. I know my model and size of them and can order online when on sale and save a bundle.
With the Nike shirts, I bought one or two locally and once I figured out which models and sizes within the model range fit well, I then went to Nike.com and grabbed them on sale. It took a little trial and error. Same goes for clothing from Lands End. I definitely recommend Landsend.com. Excellent quality and everything they sell wears well. If you buy clothes from landsend.com, you can return it to Sears.
