Modern Long Men Board Short in Metallic Thread with Crystal Embellishment
A Construction Firm approached us to develop a modern long men board short around a single idea: crystal embellishment, executed in metallic thread. The capsule was destined for Mexico and needed modern 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Metallic Thread 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.
- Crystal Embellishment 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
- 120 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Construction Firm 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.
