Capsule Jacket Lining Fabric Interlining Lining in Merino Wool with Gathered Sleeves
Capsule Jacket Lining Fabric Interlining Lining in Merino Wool with Gathered Sleeves
A Maternity Wear Brand approached us to develop a capsule jacket lining fabric interlining lining around a single idea: gathered sleeves, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for Nigeria and needed capsule 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

How it was built

- Merino Wool was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The jacket lining fabric interlining lining was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Gathered Sleeves 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
- 240 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Maternity Wear Brand 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.
