#62very cool! where I envision them to be next is holding up a CD to your webcam, and taking your body measurements in proportion to the disk you're holding up, and customize shirts and suits from there. thanks for sharing!
Re: Vastrm (YC S12) Promises The Perfect Fitting Polo
#63I love the idea. As a tall slender person, I'm usually in between sizes and things are never right. For this along with every other personal item, I hope manufacturing on demand gives us all a return to personal customization. One thing keeps bugging me though. Home page, slide one, white polo. I don't think that shirt fits right. It looks like it's too narrow either across the chest or in the shoulders and that is c…
Yeah, I hear ya on that photo. If it is any consolation that photo was taken before we started our perfect fit program! And that model was not fitted with our home try-program. Needs to be replaced, agree!
Jon, you guys solved a problem of mine, so I can relate. My trouble with ill-fitting shirts is what led me to prototype swagger: http://brownieinmotion.ca/swagger/api/beta/ an apparel recommendation engine that filtered by fit, size, budget, etc but only for brands in your neighbourhood.

This seems much closer to a "lifestyle business" than anything else I've seen come out of YC.
Perhaps, but if you look at the industry closely, most of the largest apparel brands in the world started with basic apparel (t-shirts: Gap ($16B market cap), Uniqlo ($20+B); Yoga wear - Lulu Lemons ($10B market cap), athletic tops: Underarmour ($5B market cap).
Hey Jon, reach out to Adi at loose button, good friend of mine that does sample-shipments for cosmetics. A partnership would help vastrum reach women, no?

#65Oh man...if this works, it will be fantastic. I'm 6'5" 220+ lbs. If I can't find a tall size, I have to get a XXL which is made for chubby guys, not tall thin (well not as thin as I used to be :-) ) men. A good fitting shirt is the hardest thing to find. Pants already come in a variety of sizes (length + waist) so it's not as big of an issue.
We can totally help you! ping me and we'll get you set up with a polo that fits you perfect!
You should do a how-to measure yourself video like these guys: Bombay shirt company http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88bD0Udwswk

Great points! Would love to discuss with you more offline. We source some of the highest quality cotton available. We use essentially the same quality that you might see on a Cuchinelli, Zegna or Kiton polo - which retail for $250 - $400 at Niemans or boutiques. We sell our polos, private label into some high end boutiques for $175 and $195 (retail)- using the same fabric we offer online. I agree, we need to do a muc…
Shoot me an email - I am interested in talking more. Mail@philipithomas.com. I'm an engineering and physics student who, among other ventures, owns a marketing automation company and who appreciates clothing. On a bit of side note, I'm excited to be meeting Daymond John from Fubu and Shark Tank tomorrow!
Ahh... Marketing Automation! I founded a Sales Automation (CRM) company prior to this, Salesnet. We were acquired by RNOW (now ORCL). I also ran a small marketing automation co for a year. Lots to chat about. Good luck with Daymond. We are linked on linkedin but have never met him.

One other note: Advertising for women sometimes focuses on finding that 'perfect black dress' (in ads ranging from the dress itself to deodorant) - I wonder if your company could create the 'perfect black polo' for men.
Black is certainly a popular color.
