Runway-Inspired Men Beige Hoodie in Ribbed Jersey with Hand-Finished Hem
A Cycling Team approached us to develop a runway-inspired men beige hoodie around a single idea: hand-finished hem, executed in ribbed jersey. The capsule was destined for China and needed runway-inspired 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- The sample did not match the runway reference

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 men beige hoodie was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Hand-Finished Hem 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 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Cycling Team 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.
