Sculptural Men'S Tuxedo Gloves in Tencel with Gathered Sleeves
A Military Supply Unit approached us to develop a sculptural men's tuxedo gloves around a single idea: gathered sleeves, executed in tencel. The capsule was destined for Morocco and needed sculptural 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

How it was built

- Tencel was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The men's tuxedo gloves was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Gathered Sleeves 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 Military Supply Unit 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.
