Boutique Moto Jacket in Ribbed Jersey with Delicate Pleating
A Surf School approached us to develop a boutique moto jacket around a single idea: delicate pleating, executed in ribbed jersey. The capsule was destined for Nigeria and needed boutique 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
- 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.
- Ribbed Jersey was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The moto jacket 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
- 120 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Surf School 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.
