Wedding Coat For Kids for a Railway Operator in India
A Railway Operator approached us with a wedding coat for kids requirement for India. 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
- Color drift between lab dips and bulk fabric
- Minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb
- Packaging that arrives crushed and unsellable
What we specified
| Product | Wedding Coat For Kids |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Railway Operator |
| Market | India |
| Order volume | 5,000 pieces across 4 colourways |
| Base fabric | Mesh |
| Decoration | Ultrasonic Welding |
| Size range | S-4XL |
| Sampling rounds | 4 |
| Delivery window | 6 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Mesh and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Ultrasonic Welding 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
- 5,000 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% 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
Approve a pre-production sample from the actual bulk fabric. Proto cloth behaves differently in cutting and washing.
