Thanks for the great feedback. Yes, the title should say "customizable shirts". I agree with you the "1 billion" number doesn't really matter because in reality only a fraction of the design combination will really look good on you. However, since this is a design focus app, we want to unleash people's imaginations that they can express themselves without boundaries. So the "1 billion" does that.
Compared to local store though where you only have 15-20 pre-made shirts to choose from, designing a shirt from over 200 different patterns is a great advancement in shopping experience. After you picked your base pattern, you can further customize other details to truly reflect your unique style and taste.
Then there is the fit issue. Say you found something you like off the rack but it doesn't fit. It is a frustrating, compromising experience. We totally solved this problem once and for all- you can get a good looking shirt that fits you well in a few clicks.
Hi. Apologize for the late reply and kudos for following up on the feedback. I am not denying in any way that you have solved a problem. My only point was that the '1 billion' number is quite misleading, because I will dispute you on the "unleashing people's imagination" part. The problem I see in your argument is that you are comparing yourself with a local store that sells readymade shirts. You need to compare yourself with a local tailor instead. I am not in US, so I don't know what the market there is, but if I were to walk in any store in my country I still have more than 200 different patterns to choose from (http://raymondindia.com). Also, I am not sure if getting a tailor offline is expensive or not in US. Also, one of the great factors I see is convenience. You are totally selling me your idea when you say "in a few clicks" and not when you say "unleash your imagination". Your pricing also seems extremely reasonable and that is another selling point for me.
Everything aside, I really think your app is great and I would definitely give it a try when I visit US next time (I hope you deliver it in 1-2 weeks, because that is generally how long my trips are) :)
