Sculptural Jeans Sports Jacket in Ribbed Jersey with Asymmetric Closure
A Railway Operator approached us to develop a sculptural jeans sports jacket around a single idea: asymmetric closure, executed in ribbed jersey. The capsule was destined for Malaysia and needed sculptural 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

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Ribbed Jersey was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The jeans sports jacket was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Asymmetric Closure 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
- 1,500 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Railway Operator 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.
