Tailored Breathable Tactical Pants in Tencel with Padded Shoulder
A Public School District approached us to develop a tailored breathable tactical pants around a single idea: padded shoulder, executed in tencel. The capsule was destined for Czechia and needed tailored 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 would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
