Case Study: Custom Tailored Denim Suit for a Cycling Team in Qatar
Tailored Denim Suit for a Cycling Team in Qatar
A Cycling Team approached us with a tailored denim suit requirement for Qatar. 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
- Suppliers who disappear once the deposit is paid
- Inconsistent sizing between production runs

What we specified
| Product | Tailored Denim Suit |
|---|---|
| Client type | A Cycling Team |
| Market | Qatar |
| Order volume | 3,000 pieces across 6 colourways |
| Base fabric | Anti-Static Fabric |
| Decoration | Placement Printing |
| 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 Anti-Static Fabric and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Placement 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
- 3,000 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
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not from machines.
