Navy Blue Men'S Blazer for a University Athletic Department in Indonesia
A University Athletic Department approached us with a navy blue men's blazer requirement for Indonesia. 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
- Inconsistent sizing between production runs
- Long lead times that miss the selling season
- Color drift between lab dips and bulk fabric
What we specified
| Product | Navy Blue Men'S Blazer |
|---|---|
| Client type | A University Athletic Department |
| Market | Indonesia |
| Order volume | 800 pieces across 3 colourways |
| Base fabric | Chambray |
| Decoration | Beading and Embroidery |
| Size range | S-4XL |
| Sampling rounds | 2 |
| Delivery window | 8 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Chambray and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Beading and Embroidery 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
- 800 pieces delivered inside the 8-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.
