Editorial Navy Blue Men'S Blazer in Ribbed Jersey with Draped Neckline

A National Retail Chain approached us to develop a editorial navy blue men's blazer around a single idea: draped neckline, executed in ribbed jersey. The capsule was destined for the Netherlands and needed editorial 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
• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
• Decoration durability failed after two washes

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Ribbed Jersey was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The navy blue men's blazer was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Draped Neckline 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

• 900 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a National Retail Chain 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.
