Designer Men'S Dress Trousers for a Military Supply Unit in Qatar
A Military Supply Unit approached us with a designer men's dress trousers requirement for Qatar. 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
- No reliable way to track a order once it enters production
- Suppliers who disappear once the deposit is paid
What we specified
| Product | Designer Men'S Dress Trousers |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Military Supply Unit |
| Market | Qatar |
| Order volume | 3,000 pieces across 4 colourways |
| Base fabric | Pima Cotton |
| Decoration | Debossing |
| 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 Pima Cotton and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Debossing 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 4.5% 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.
