Case Study: Custom Tapered Mens Sweat Pants for a University Athletic Department in Morocco
Tapered Mens Sweat Pants for a University Athletic Department in Morocco
A University Athletic Department approached us with a tapered mens sweat pants requirement for Morocco. 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
- Suppliers who disappear once the deposit is paid
- Long lead times that miss the selling season

What we specified
| Product | Tapered Mens Sweat Pants |
|---|---|
| Client type | A University Athletic Department |
| Market | Morocco |
| Order volume | 800 pieces across 4 colourways |
| Base fabric | Stretch Denim |
| Decoration | DTG Digital Printing |
| Size range | Custom grading |
| Sampling rounds | 4 |
| Delivery window | 12 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Stretch Denim and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to DTG Digital 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
- 800 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% 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
Approve a pre-production sample from the actual bulk fabric. Proto cloth behaves differently in cutting and washing.
