Contemporary Men'S Fitted Denim Blazer in Crochet with Delicate Pleating

A Pet Grooming Franchise approached us to develop a contemporary men's fitted denim blazer around a single idea: delicate pleating, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for Argentina and needed contemporary 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
• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
• The sample did not match the runway reference

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Crochet was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The men's fitted denim blazer was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Delicate Pleating 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

• 120 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
• Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
• The a Pet Grooming Franchise 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.
