Pro Club Men Pullover Hoodie for an Airline Catering Team in Portugal
An Airline Catering Team approached us with a pro club men pullover hoodie requirement for Portugal. 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
- Long lead times that miss the selling season
- Minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb
- Suppliers who disappear once the deposit is paid
What we specified
| Product | Pro Club Men Pullover Hoodie |
|---|---|
| Client type | An Airline Catering Team |
| Market | Portugal |
| Order volume | 1,200 pieces across 4 colourways |
| Base fabric | Mohair |
| Decoration | Custom Zip Puller |
| Size range | XS-3XL |
| Sampling rounds | 2 |
| Delivery window | 6 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Mohair and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Custom Zip Puller 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
- 1,200 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the original quotation.
- Return rate linked to fit or workmanship stayed under 0.5%.
- 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.
