Case Study: Custom Denim Jacket Fashion for a Private Clinic in the Netherlands
Denim Jacket Fashion for a Private Clinic in the Netherlands
A Private Clinic approached us with a denim jacket fashion requirement for the Netherlands. 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
- Long lead times that miss the selling season
- Suppliers who disappear once the deposit is paid
- Color drift between lab dips and bulk fabric

What we specified
| Product | Denim Jacket Fashion |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Private Clinic |
| Market | the Netherlands |
| Order volume | 5,000 pieces across 4 colourways |
| Base fabric | Moisture-Wicking Knit |
| Decoration | Enzyme Wash |
| Size range | Custom grading |
| Sampling rounds | 4 |
| Delivery window | 6 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Moisture-Wicking Knit and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Enzyme Wash 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
- 5,000 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the original quotation.
- Return rate linked to fit or workmanship stayed under 0.5%.
- The specification is now on file, so reorders reproduce the approved sample.
What we would repeat
Approve a pre-production sample from the actual bulk fabric. Proto cloth behaves differently in cutting and washing.
