Case Study: Custom Plus Size Equestrian Clothing for a Private Clinic in the United Arab Emirates

Plus Size Equestrian Clothing for a Private Clinic in the United Arab Emirates

A Private Clinic approached us with a plus size equestrian clothing requirement for the United Arab Emirates. 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
• Long lead times that miss the selling season
• Minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb

What we specified

How it was resolved

1. We rebuilt the tech pack around Anti-Static Fabric and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
2. Decoration was moved to Placement Printing after strike-off tests showed better wash durability.
3. A pre-production sample was approved and retained as the golden reference.
4. Production ran with in-line inspection and a mid-run photo report.
5. Cartons were packed to the client's own barcode and size ratio specification.

Result

• 3,000 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
• Unit cost held within 4.5% 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

Approve a pre-production sample from the actual bulk fabric. Proto cloth behaves differently in cutting and washing.
