Elevated Grey Baseball Cap in Merino Wool with Waist Tie Belt
A Hotel Group approached us to develop a elevated grey baseball cap around a single idea: waist tie belt, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for Denmark 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Merino Wool was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The grey baseball cap was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Waist Tie Belt 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
- 900 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Hotel Group launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
