Modern Cotton Golf Cap in Metallic Thread with Tonal Embroidery
A Hospital Group approached us to develop a modern cotton golf cap around a single idea: tonal embroidery, executed in metallic thread. The capsule was destined for Ireland and needed modern 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Metallic Thread was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The cotton golf cap was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Tonal Embroidery 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
- 600 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Hospital Group 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.
