Vintage-Inspired Boys' Denim Varsity Jacket in Velvet with Monogram Hardware

Vintage-Inspired Boys' Denim Varsity Jacket in Velvet with Monogram Hardware

A Pet Grooming Franchise approached us to develop a vintage-inspired boys' denim varsity jacket around a single idea: monogram hardware, executed in velvet. The capsule was destined for South Korea and needed vintage-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

• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
• Decoration durability failed after two washes
• The sample did not match the runway reference

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Velvet 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. Monogram Hardware 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 12-week window.
• Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
• The a Pet Grooming Franchise 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.
