Boutique Cotton Golf Cap in Genuine Leather with Gathered Sleeves
A Golf Club approached us to develop a boutique cotton golf cap around a single idea: gathered sleeves, executed in genuine leather. The capsule was destined for Belgium and needed boutique 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built

- Genuine Leather 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.

- 600 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Golf Club 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.
