Contemporary Lightweight Feather Red Jacket Women in Mohair with Gathered Sleeves

Contemporary Lightweight Feather Red Jacket Women in Mohair with Gathered Sleeves

A Trade Show Exhibitor approached us to develop a contemporary lightweight feather red jacket women around a single idea: gathered sleeves, executed in mohair. The capsule was destined for China and needed contemporary 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
• The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Mohair was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The lightweight feather red jacket women was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Gathered Sleeves 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 8-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Trade Show Exhibitor launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.

What we would repeat

Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
