Designer Men Windbreaker Jacket in Merino Wool with Padded Shoulder
A Bridal Studio approached us to develop a designer men windbreaker jacket around a single idea: padded shoulder, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for Portugal and needed designer 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

How it was built

- Merino Wool was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The men windbreaker jacket was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Padded Shoulder 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
- 900 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Bridal Studio 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.
