Chic Breathable Tactical Pants in Velvet with Lace Inset
Chic Breathable Tactical Pants in Velvet with Lace Inset
A Government Agency approached us to develop a chic breathable tactical pants around a single idea: lace inset, executed in velvet. The capsule was destined for Japan and needed chic 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- The sample did not match the runway reference

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Velvet was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The breathable tactical pants was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Lace Inset 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
- 2,400 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Government Agency 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.
