Fashion Leisure Sports Wear for a Ski Resort in the United States
A Ski Resort approached us with a fashion leisure sports wear requirement for the United States. 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
- Inconsistent sizing between production runs
- Color drift between lab dips and bulk fabric
What we specified
| Product | Fashion Leisure Sports Wear |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Ski Resort |
| Market | the United States |
| Order volume | 2,000 pieces across 6 colourways |
| Base fabric | Oxford |
| Decoration | Puff Printing |
| Size range | XS-3XL |
| Sampling rounds | 3 |
| Delivery window | 10 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Oxford and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Puff Printing 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
- 2,000 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% 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
Lock the colour standard before grading. Once a shade moves, every downstream approval has to be redone and the calendar slips.
