Minimalist Cashmere Hoodie in Metallic Thread with Raw-Edge Detailing
A Uniform Supplier approached us to develop a minimalist cashmere hoodie around a single idea: raw-edge detailing, executed in metallic thread. The capsule was destined for Switzerland and needed minimalist 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
- 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.
- Metallic Thread was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The cashmere hoodie was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Raw-Edge Detailing 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 Uniform Supplier 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.
