Sculptural Plus Size 3/4 Sleeve Tunic in Genuine Leather with Hand-Finished Hem

Sculptural Plus Size 3/4 Sleeve Tunic in Genuine Leather with Hand-Finished Hem

A Hospital Group approached us to develop a sculptural plus size 3/4 sleeve tunic around a single idea: hand-finished hem, executed in genuine leather. The capsule was destined for Japan and needed sculptural 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
• The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
• 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. Genuine Leather was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The plus size 3/4 sleeve tunic 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

• 240 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
• Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
• The a Hospital Group 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.
