All you need to do is tell me HOW to solve this problem.  Don't do it for me.

If you looked for a moment at only hats and shirts, he could wear any of 42 hats with any of 12 shirts.  How many combos is that?  Hint: uses a product.  Once you understand the hat shirt combo, you can extend that ot all articles of clothing.
