Vintage-Inspired Cotton Golf Cap in Sequined Knit with Gathered Sleeves
Vintage-Inspired Cotton Golf Cap in Sequined Knit with Gathered Sleeves
A Bridal Studio approached us to develop a vintage-inspired cotton golf cap around a single idea: gathered sleeves, executed in sequined knit. The capsule was destined for Israel 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
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- 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.
- Sequined Knit 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.
- Gathered Sleeves 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
- 400 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Bridal Studio launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
