Capsule Men'S Camouflage Wetsuit in Ribbed Jersey with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons

Capsule Men'S Camouflage Wetsuit in Ribbed Jersey with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons

A Fast-Growing Startup Label approached us to develop a capsule men's camouflage wetsuit around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in ribbed jersey. The capsule was destined for the Philippines and needed capsule 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

• Decoration durability failed after two washes
• Delivery missed the collection launch window
• The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Ribbed Jersey was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The men's camouflage wetsuit was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Mother-of-Pearl Buttons 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

• 400 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Fast-Growing Startup Label 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.
