Sculptural Cotton Golf Cap in Ribbed Jersey with Delicate Pleating
A Cruise Line approached us to develop a sculptural cotton golf cap around a single idea: delicate pleating, executed in ribbed jersey. The capsule was destined for Peru and needed sculptural 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Ribbed Jersey 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.
- Delicate Pleating 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
- 1,500 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Cruise Line 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.
