Vintage-Inspired Mens Hunting Jackets in Mohair with Sculptural Draping
Vintage-Inspired Mens Hunting Jackets in Mohair with Sculptural Draping
A Pet Grooming Franchise approached us to develop a vintage-inspired mens hunting jackets around a single idea: sculptural draping, executed in mohair. The capsule was destined for France and needed vintage-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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built

- Mohair was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The mens hunting jackets was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Sculptural Draping 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
- 120 pieces delivered inside the 10-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
Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
