Black Pullover Hoodie Mens for a Bridal Studio in Ireland
A Bridal Studio approached us with a black pullover hoodie mens requirement for Ireland. 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
- No reliable way to track a order once it enters production
- Suppliers who disappear once the deposit is paid
- Color drift between lab dips and bulk fabric
What we specified
| Product | Black Pullover Hoodie Mens |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Bridal Studio |
| Market | Ireland |
| Order volume | 3,000 pieces across 4 colourways |
| Base fabric | Waffle Knit |
| Decoration | Enzyme Wash |
| Size range | Custom grading |
| Sampling rounds | 4 |
| Delivery window | 6 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Waffle Knit and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Enzyme Wash 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
- 3,000 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% 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.
