Dobok Martial Arts Wear for a Film Production House in Taiwan
A Film Production House approached us with a dobok martial arts wear requirement for Taiwan. 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
- Minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb
- Long lead times that miss the selling season
- Inconsistent sizing between production runs
What we specified
| Product | Dobok Martial Arts Wear |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Film Production House |
| Market | Taiwan |
| Order volume | 800 pieces across 6 colourways |
| Base fabric | Faux Leather PU |
| Decoration | Ribbed Cuff and Hem |
| Size range | 2-12Y |
| Sampling rounds | 3 |
| Delivery window | 12 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Faux Leather PU and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Ribbed Cuff and Hem 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 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% 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
Lock the colour standard before grading. Once a shade moves, every downstream approval has to be redone and the calendar slips.
