Tailored Denim Suit for a Hotel Group in Germany
A Hotel Group approached us with a tailored denim suit requirement for Germany. 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
- Unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing
- Minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb
What we specified
| Product | Tailored Denim Suit |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Hotel Group |
| Market | Germany |
| Order volume | 8,000 pieces across 2 colourways |
| Base fabric | Canvas |
| Decoration | Rhinestone Application |
| Size range | XS-3XL |
| Sampling rounds | 3 |
| Delivery window | 8 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Canvas 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
- 8,000 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% 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
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not from machines.
