Denim Jacket Style for a Nonprofit Organization in South Korea
A Nonprofit Organization approached us with a denim jacket style requirement for South Korea. 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
- Inconsistent sizing between production runs
- Color drift between lab dips and bulk fabric
- Long lead times that miss the selling season
What we specified
| Product | Denim Jacket Style |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Nonprofit Organization |
| Market | South Korea |
| Order volume | 500 pieces across 3 colourways |
| Base fabric | Viscose |
| Decoration | Chain Stitch Embroidery |
| Size range | Custom grading |
| Sampling rounds | 4 |
| Delivery window | 5 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Viscose and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Chain Stitch Embroidery 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
- 500 pieces delivered inside the 5-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the original quotation.
- Return rate linked to fit or workmanship stayed under 2.0%.
- The specification is now on file, so reorders reproduce the approved sample.
What we would repeat
Lock the colour standard before grading. Once a shade moves, every downstream approval has to be redone and the calendar slips.
