Denim Jacket Fashion for an Independent Boutique Brand in India
An Independent Boutique Brand approached us with a denim jacket fashion requirement for India. 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
- No reliable way to track a order once it enters production
- Unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing
- Inconsistent sizing between production runs
What we specified
| Product | Denim Jacket Fashion |
|---|---|
| Client type | An Independent Boutique Brand |
| Market | India |
| Order volume | 800 pieces across 4 colourways |
| Base fabric | Combed Cotton |
| Decoration | Woven Label |
| Size range | S-4XL |
| Sampling rounds | 2 |
| Delivery window | 8 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Combed Cotton and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Woven Label 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 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% 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
Approve a pre-production sample from the actual bulk fabric. Proto cloth behaves differently in cutting and washing.

Tell us the quantity, target price and delivery window, and we will build a customisation programme around those three numbers.
