Minimalist Long Men Board Short in Sequined Knit with High-Low Hem

Minimalist Long Men Board Short in Sequined Knit with High-Low Hem

A Brewery and Taproom approached us to develop a minimalist long men board short around a single idea: high-low hem, executed in sequined knit. The capsule was destined for the United Arab Emirates and needed minimalist 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

• Delivery missed the collection launch window
• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
• The sample did not match the runway reference

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Sequined Knit was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The long men board short was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. High-Low Hem 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

• 2,400 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Brewery and Taproom 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.
