Boutique Boys' Denim Varsity Jacket in Satin with Hand-Finished Hem

Boutique Boys' Denim Varsity Jacket in Satin with Hand-Finished Hem

An Independent Fashion Designer approached us to develop a boutique boys' denim varsity jacket around a single idea: hand-finished hem, executed in satin. The capsule was destined for South Korea and needed boutique 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

• Decoration durability failed after two washes
• The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Satin was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The boys' denim varsity jacket was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Hand-Finished Hem was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
5. Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

Result

• 600 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
• Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
• The an Independent Fashion Designer launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.

What we would repeat

Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
