Modern Jacket Zipper Slider in Metallic Thread with Monogram Hardware

Modern Jacket Zipper Slider in Metallic Thread with Monogram Hardware

A Kidswear Subscription Box approached us to develop a modern jacket zipper slider around a single idea: monogram hardware, executed in metallic thread. The capsule was destined for Russia and needed modern 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

• The sample did not match the runway reference
• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
• Decoration durability failed after two washes

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Metallic Thread was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The jacket zipper slider was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Monogram Hardware was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
5. Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

Result

• 600 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Kidswear Subscription Box 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.
