Sculptural Boys Elastic Waist Jeans in Ribbed Jersey with Open Back
A Fast-Growing Startup Label approached us to develop a sculptural boys elastic waist jeans around a single idea: open back, executed in ribbed jersey. The capsule was destined for Mexico and needed sculptural 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- 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 boys elastic waist jeans was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Open Back was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Fast-Growing Startup Label launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
