Avant-Garde Black Pullover Hoodie Mens in Ribbed Jersey with Raw-Edge Detailing
Avant-Garde Black Pullover Hoodie Mens in Ribbed Jersey with Raw-Edge Detailing
A Pet Grooming Franchise approached us to develop a avant-garde black pullover hoodie mens around a single idea: raw-edge detailing, executed in ribbed jersey. The capsule was destined for Australia and needed avant-garde finishing that reads designer on the rail while staying repeatable in bulk. This case study records the brief, the specification and the delivery.
The challenge
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

How it was built

- Ribbed Jersey was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The black pullover hoodie mens was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Raw-Edge Detailing was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

Result
- 120 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Pet Grooming Franchise launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
