Tailored Navy Blue Men'S Blazer in Silk with Delicate Pleating
A Cycling Team approached us to develop a tailored navy blue men's blazer around a single idea: delicate pleating, executed in silk. The capsule was destined for the United Arab Emirates and needed tailored 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Silk was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The navy blue men's blazer was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Delicate Pleating 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
- 600 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Cycling Team 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.
