Bohemian Mens Black Down Jacket With Hood in Merino Wool with Hand-Finished Hem

Bohemian Mens Black Down Jacket With Hood in Merino Wool with Hand-Finished Hem

A Railway Operator approached us to develop a bohemian mens black down jacket with hood around a single idea: hand-finished hem, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for the Philippines and needed bohemian 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
• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
• 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. Merino Wool 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. Hand-Finished Hem 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 6-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Railway Operator 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.
