Wedding Coat For Kids for a Mining Company in the United Kingdom
A Mining Company approached us with a wedding coat for kids requirement for the United Kingdom. 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
- Unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing
- Inconsistent sizing between production runs
- Color drift between lab dips and bulk fabric
What we specified
| Product | Wedding Coat For Kids |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Mining Company |
| Market | the United Kingdom |
| Order volume | 500 pieces across 4 colourways |
| Base fabric | Spandex |
| Decoration | Contrast Stitching |
| 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 Spandex and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Contrast Stitching 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
- 500 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 4.5% 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
Approve a pre-production sample from the actual bulk fabric. Proto cloth behaves differently in cutting and washing.
