Modern Denim Jacket Fashion in Cupro with Hand-Finished Hem
Modern Denim Jacket Fashion in Cupro with Hand-Finished Hem
A Railway Operator approached us to develop a modern denim jacket fashion around a single idea: hand-finished hem, executed in cupro. The capsule was destined for South Korea and needed modern 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- The sample did not match the runway reference

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Cupro was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The denim jacket fashion 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.

Result
- 900 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Railway Operator 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.
