Case Study: Custom Men'S Golf Sweater Vest for a Manufacturing Plant in Turkey
Men'S Golf Sweater Vest for a Manufacturing Plant in Turkey
A Manufacturing Plant approached us with a men's golf sweater vest requirement for Turkey. 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
- Color drift between lab dips and bulk fabric
- Unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing

What we specified
| Product | Men'S Golf Sweater Vest |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Manufacturing Plant |
| Market | Turkey |
| Order volume | 500 pieces across 4 colourways |
| Base fabric | Velour |
| Decoration | Sequin Work |
| Size range | XS-3XL |
| Sampling rounds | 3 |
| Delivery window | 8 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Velour and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Sequin Work 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
- 500 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 4.5% of the original quotation.
- Return rate linked to fit or workmanship stayed under 2.0%.
- 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.
