Chic Men'S Camouflage Wetsuit in Mohair with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
Chic Men'S Camouflage Wetsuit in Mohair with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
A Railway Operator approached us to develop a chic men's camouflage wetsuit around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in mohair. The capsule was destined for Austria and needed chic 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Mohair was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The men's camouflage wetsuit was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Mother-of-Pearl 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
- 2,400 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Railway Operator 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.
