Elevated Grip Sports Gloves in Merino Wool with High-Low Hem
A Hospital Group approached us to develop a elevated grip sports gloves around a single idea: high-low hem, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for Sweden 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

What we would repeat
Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
