Designer Custom Family Sweatshirts in Organic Denim with Gathered Sleeves
A Dance School approached us to develop a designer custom family sweatshirts around a single idea: gathered sleeves, executed in organic denim. The capsule was destined for Russia and needed designer 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
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Organic Denim 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.
- 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
- 2,400 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Dance School launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
