Biker Leather Jacket for a Film Production House in Chile
A Film Production House approached us with a biker leather jacket requirement for Chile. The brief was specific: a defined look, a hard launch date and a unit cost that had to survive shipping and duty. This case study records what was specified, what went wrong in sampling and how the bulk order was delivered.
The challenge
- Color drift between lab dips and bulk fabric
- Long lead times that miss the selling season
- Packaging that arrives crushed and unsellable
What we specified
| Product | Biker Leather Jacket |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Film Production House |
| Market | Chile |
| Order volume | 800 pieces across 3 colourways |
| Base fabric | 3-Layer Waterproof Fabric |
| Decoration | Sequin Work |
| Size range | Custom grading |
| Sampling rounds | 2 |
| Delivery window | 5 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around 3-Layer Waterproof Fabric and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Sequin Work after strike-off tests showed better wash durability.
- A pre-production sample was approved and retained as the golden reference.
- Production ran with in-line inspection and a mid-run photo report.
- Cartons were packed to the client's own barcode and size ratio specification.
Result
- 800 pieces delivered inside the 5-week window.
- Unit cost held within 4.5% of the original quotation.
- Return rate linked to fit or workmanship stayed under 1.0%.
- The specification is now on file, so reorders reproduce the approved sample.
What we would repeat
Fix the size ratio early. Changing the ratio after cutting starts is the single most expensive change a client can request.
