Effortless Jeans Sports Jacket in Silk with Covered Buttons
An Independent Fashion Designer approached us to develop a effortless jeans sports jacket around a single idea: covered buttons, executed in silk. The capsule was destined for Malaysia and needed effortless 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 previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

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