Case Study: Custom Inside Boys Swim Trunk for a Military Supply Unit in Saudi Arabia
Inside Boys Swim Trunk for a Military Supply Unit in Saudi Arabia
A Military Supply Unit approached us with a inside boys swim trunk requirement for Saudi Arabia. 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 | Inside Boys Swim Trunk |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Military Supply Unit |
| Market | Saudi Arabia |
| Order volume | 1,200 pieces across 3 colourways |
| Base fabric | 3-Layer Waterproof Fabric |
| Decoration | Enzyme Wash |
| Size range | 2-12Y |
| Sampling rounds | 4 |
| Delivery window | 5 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around 3-Layer Waterproof Fabric 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
- 1,200 pieces delivered inside the 5-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
Lock the colour standard before grading. Once a shade moves, every downstream approval has to be redone and the calendar slips.
