Have you actually found smart garments that include both storage and CPU capacity, such that synchronization would be necessary? Clothing that actually stores data in itself doesn't make much sense for the exact reasons that you're asking for answers to. It makes more sense that clothing would be slaved to a separate universal CPU/storage/power device, with the clothing serving just as input and display. If an article of clothing were to be so complex as to need its own processing and storage, I think you'd find the answers in the clothing itself, e.g. removable cufflinks on a shirt are power and storage, a kerchief pocket on a jacket used for a thin film battery and flash memory, a memory and power necklace as a required accessory for a blouse, etc. And, of course, manual syncing would never be necessary: both charging and transfers would be done inductively via your very attractive wireless jewelry box.
