Runway-Inspired Blue Down Jacket in Suede with Covered Buttons
Runway-Inspired Blue Down Jacket in Suede with Covered Buttons
A Streetwear Collective approached us to develop a runway-inspired blue down jacket around a single idea: covered buttons, executed in suede. The capsule was destined for Poland and needed runway-inspired 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
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Suede was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The blue down jacket was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Covered Buttons 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
- 240 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Streetwear Collective 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.
