Effortless Designer Men'S Dress Trousers in Tencel with Draped Neckline
Effortless Designer Men'S Dress Trousers in Tencel with Draped Neckline
A Coffee Roaster Chain approached us to develop a effortless designer men's dress trousers around a single idea: draped neckline, executed in tencel. The capsule was destined for Chile and needed effortless 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

- The designer men's dress trousers was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Draped Neckline was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.
