Tailored Designer Men'S Dress Trousers in Merino Wool with Raw-Edge Detailing

Tailored Designer Men'S Dress Trousers in Merino Wool with Raw-Edge Detailing

A Ski Resort approached us to develop a tailored designer men's dress trousers around a single idea: raw-edge detailing, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for the Philippines 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

• Delivery missed the collection launch window
• The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Merino Wool was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The designer men's dress trousers was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Raw-Edge Detailing was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
5. Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

Result

• 600 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Ski Resort launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.

What we would repeat

Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
