Case Study: Custom Winter Leg Warmers for an Airline Catering Team in Morocco
Winter Leg Warmers for an Airline Catering Team in Morocco
An Airline Catering Team approached us with a winter leg warmers 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
- Unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing
- Color drift between lab dips and bulk fabric

What we specified
| Product | Winter Leg Warmers |
|---|---|
| Client type | An Airline Catering Team |
| Market | Morocco |
| Order volume | 5,000 pieces across 3 colourways |
| Base fabric | Moisture-Wicking Knit |
| Decoration | Ruching |
| Size range | Custom grading |
| Sampling rounds | 3 |
| Delivery window | 6 weeks from PO to ex-factory |
How it was resolved
- We rebuilt the tech pack around Moisture-Wicking Knit and locked shrinkage allowance before grading.
- Decoration was moved to Ruching 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
- 5,000 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% 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
Lock the colour standard before grading. Once a shade moves, every downstream approval has to be redone and the calendar slips.
