Chic Custom Family Sweatshirts in Merino Wool with Hand-Finished Hem
Chic Custom Family Sweatshirts in Merino Wool with Hand-Finished Hem
A Construction Firm approached us to develop a chic custom family sweatshirts around a single idea: hand-finished hem, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for Norway and needed chic 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 sample did not match the runway reference
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

How it was built

- Merino Wool was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The custom family sweatshirts was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Hand-Finished Hem was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Construction Firm launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
