Contemporary Mens Black Down Jacket With Hood in Washed Linen with Tonal Embroidery
Contemporary Mens Black Down Jacket With Hood in Washed Linen with Tonal Embroidery
A Security Company approached us to develop a contemporary mens black down jacket with hood around a single idea: tonal embroidery, executed in washed linen. The capsule was destined for the United States 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Washed Linen was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The mens black down jacket with hood was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Tonal Embroidery 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
- 240 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Security Company 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.
