Case Study: Custom Shorts Softball Wear for a Streetwear Collective in Morocco
Shorts Softball Wear for a Streetwear Collective in Morocco
A Streetwear Collective approached us with a shorts softball wear requirement for Morocco. 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
- Suppliers who disappear once the deposit is paid
- Long lead times that miss the selling season
- Inconsistent sizing between production runs

What we specified
| Product | Shorts Softball Wear |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Streetwear Collective |
| Market | Morocco |
| Order volume | 800 pieces across 3 colourways |
| Base fabric | Cotton-Poly Blend |
| Decoration | Tonal Embroidery |
| Size range | XS-3XL |
| Sampling rounds | 3 |
| Delivery window | 6 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Cotton-Poly Blend and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Tonal Embroidery 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 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 4.5% 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
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not from machines.
