Chic Long Men Board Short in Vegan Leather with Sculptural Draping
Chic Long Men Board Short in Vegan Leather with Sculptural Draping
A Construction Firm approached us to develop a chic long men board short around a single idea: sculptural draping, executed in vegan leather. The capsule was destined for Russia and needed chic 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Vegan Leather was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The long men board short was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Sculptural Draping 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 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Construction Firm 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.
