Elevated Dobok Martial Arts Wear in boucle with Hand-Finished Hem
Elevated Dobok Martial Arts Wear in boucle with Hand-Finished Hem
A Mining Company approached us to develop a elevated dobok martial arts wear around a single idea: hand-finished hem, executed in boucle. The capsule was destined for Canada and needed elevated 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- boucle was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The dobok martial arts wear 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
- 2,400 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Mining Company 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.
