Tailored Long Men Board Short in Ribbed Jersey with Covered Buttons
Tailored Long Men Board Short in Ribbed Jersey with Covered Buttons
A Maternity Wear Brand approached us to develop a tailored long men board short around a single idea: covered buttons, executed in ribbed jersey. The capsule was destined for Norway and needed tailored 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Ribbed Jersey 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.
- Covered Buttons 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
- 600 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Maternity Wear Brand 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.
