Case Study: Custom Green Down Jacket Women for an Amazon Private Label Seller in New Zealand
Green Down Jacket Women for an Amazon Private Label Seller in New Zealand
An Amazon Private Label Seller approached us with a green down jacket women requirement for New Zealand. 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
- No reliable way to track a order once it enters production
- Color drift between lab dips and bulk fabric

What we specified
| Product | Green Down Jacket Women |
|---|---|
| Client type | An Amazon Private Label Seller |
| Market | New Zealand |
| Order volume | 3,000 pieces across 3 colourways |
| Base fabric | Genuine Leather |
| Decoration | Laser Cutting |
| Size range | Custom grading |
| Sampling rounds | 4 |
| Delivery window | 10 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Genuine Leather and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Laser Cutting 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
- 3,000 pieces delivered inside the 10-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
Fix the size ratio early. Changing the ratio after cutting starts is the single most expensive change a client can request.
