Runway-Inspired Men'S Golf Sweater Vest in Sequined Knit with Contrast Topstitching

A Pet Grooming Franchise approached us to develop a runway-inspired men's golf sweater vest around a single idea: contrast topstitching, executed in sequined knit. The capsule was destined for Portugal and needed runway-inspired 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

• The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
• Decoration durability failed after two washes
• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Sequined Knit was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The men's golf sweater vest was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Contrast Topstitching 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

• 600 pieces delivered inside the 12-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.
