Contemporary Breathable Tactical Pants in Genuine Leather with Raw-Edge Detailing

Contemporary Breathable Tactical Pants in Genuine Leather with Raw-Edge Detailing

A Ski Resort approached us to develop a contemporary breathable tactical pants around a single idea: raw-edge detailing, executed in genuine leather. The capsule was destined for Argentina and needed contemporary 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 sample did not match the runway reference
• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
• The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Genuine Leather was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The breathable tactical pants was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Raw-Edge Detailing 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

• 240 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Ski Resort launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.

What we would repeat

Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
