Contemporary Plus Size Equestrian Clothing in Mohair with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons

Contemporary Plus Size Equestrian Clothing in Mohair with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons

A Government Agency approached us to develop a contemporary plus size equestrian clothing around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in mohair. The capsule was destined for Russia and needed contemporary 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

• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
• Delivery missed the collection launch window
• 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. Mohair was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The plus size equestrian clothing was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Mother-of-Pearl Buttons 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

• 120 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
• Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
• The a Government Agency 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.
