Parisian Mens Black Down Jacket With Hood in Vegan Leather with Gathered Sleeves

Parisian Mens Black Down Jacket With Hood in Vegan Leather with Gathered Sleeves

A Marketing Agency approached us to develop a parisian mens black down jacket with hood around a single idea: gathered sleeves, executed in vegan leather. The capsule was destined for Malaysia and needed parisian 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
• 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. Vegan Leather was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The mens black down jacket with hood was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Gathered Sleeves 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 2.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Marketing Agency 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.
