Tailored Inside Boys Swim Trunk in Suede with Fringe Trim
A Cycling Team approached us to develop a tailored inside boys swim trunk around a single idea: fringe trim, executed in suede. The capsule was destined for Qatar and needed tailored 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- 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.
- Suede was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The inside boys swim trunk was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Fringe Trim 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 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Cycling Team 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.
