Biker Leather Jacket for a Film Production House in Nigeria
A Film Production House approached us with a biker leather jacket 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
- Suppliers who disappear once the deposit is paid
- Packaging that arrives crushed and unsellable
- Inconsistent sizing between production runs
What we specified
| Product | Biker Leather Jacket |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Film Production House |
| Market | Nigeria |
| Order volume | 8,000 pieces across 3 colourways |
| Base fabric | Faux Leather PU |
| Decoration | Piece Dyeing |
| Size range | XS-3XL |
| Sampling rounds | 2 |
| Delivery window | 6 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Faux Leather PU and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Piece Dyeing 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 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the original quotation.
- Return rate linked to fit or workmanship stayed under 1.5%.
- The specification is now on file, so reorders reproduce the approved sample.
What we would repeat
Fix the size ratio early. Changing the ratio after cutting starts is the single most expensive change a client can request.
