Case Study: Custom Men'S Fitted Denim Blazer for a Manufacturing Plant in Hong Kong

Men'S Fitted Denim Blazer for a Manufacturing Plant in Hong Kong

A Manufacturing Plant approached us with a men's fitted denim blazer requirement for Hong Kong. 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

• Packaging that arrives crushed and unsellable
• Minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb
• Unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing

What we specified

How it was resolved

1. We rebuilt the tech pack around Recycled Polyester (rPET) and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
2. Decoration was moved to Puff Printing after strike-off tests showed better wash durability.
3. A pre-production sample was approved and retained as the golden reference.
4. Production ran with in-line inspection and a mid-run photo report.
5. 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 2.0% 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.
