Why don't we need to initialise size?

All the other properties are initialised, but why isn't size initialised?

From a quick glance at Amit's video it is initialised. Size is an enum which is initialised inside of clothing which can be seen on the line of;

enum Size{
  case .Small, .Medium, .Large
  init(){ self = .Small }
}
class Clothing: Product {
   var size = Size()
}

So when Clothing is initialised, Size is too and by default is .Small
