Tailored Denim Jacket Fashion in Suede with Delicate Pleating
Tailored Denim Jacket Fashion in Suede with Delicate Pleating
A Boutique Fitness Studio approached us to develop a tailored denim jacket fashion around a single idea: delicate pleating, executed in suede. The capsule was destined for Malaysia and needed tailored 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Suede 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.
- 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
- 400 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Boutique Fitness Studio 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.
