Capsule Men'S Fitted Denim Blazer in Washed Linen with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons

Capsule Men'S Fitted Denim Blazer in Washed Linen with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons

An Airline Catering Team approached us to develop a capsule men's fitted denim blazer around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in washed linen. The capsule was destined for Qatar 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

• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
• Decoration durability failed after two washes
• Delivery missed the collection launch window

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Washed Linen 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. 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 12-week window.
• Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
• The an Airline Catering Team 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.
