Kids' Classic Denim Trucker for a Surf School in Taiwan
A Surf School approached us with a kids' classic denim trucker 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
- No reliable way to track a order once it enters production
- Long lead times that miss the selling season
- Minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb
What we specified
| Product | Kids' Classic Denim Trucker |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Surf School |
| Market | Taiwan |
| Order volume | 500 pieces across 3 colourways |
| Base fabric | Spandex |
| Decoration | Rhinestone Application |
| Size range | S-4XL |
| Sampling rounds | 4 |
| Delivery window | 10 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Spandex and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Rhinestone Application 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 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the original quotation.
- Return rate linked to fit or workmanship stayed under 1.5%.
- 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.
