Contemporary Cycling Glasses in Crochet with Monogram Hardware
A Military Supply Unit approached us to develop a contemporary cycling glasses around a single idea: monogram hardware, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for Czechia and needed contemporary 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

- Crochet was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The cycling glasses was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Monogram Hardware 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 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Military Supply Unit launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
