Utility Cargo Pants Womens for a Military Supply Unit in Nigeria
A Military Supply Unit approached us with a utility cargo pants womens requirement for Nigeria. 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
- Color drift between lab dips and bulk fabric
What we specified
| Product | Utility Cargo Pants Womens |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Military Supply Unit |
| Market | Nigeria |
| Order volume | 1,200 pieces across 4 colourways |
| Base fabric | Velvet |
| Decoration | Distressed Finish |
| Size range | 2-12Y |
| Sampling rounds | 3 |
| Delivery window | 12 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Velvet and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Distressed Finish 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 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% 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.
