Capsule Multi Station Gym Fitness Set in Merino Wool with Padded Shoulder
Capsule Multi Station Gym Fitness Set in Merino Wool with Padded Shoulder
A Surf School approached us to develop a capsule multi station gym fitness set around a single idea: padded shoulder, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for Chile and needed capsule 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.
- Merino Wool was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The multi station gym fitness set was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Padded Shoulder 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 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Surf School 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.
