Vintage-Inspired Pro Club Men Pullover Hoodie in Crochet with Lace Inset

Vintage-Inspired Pro Club Men Pullover Hoodie in Crochet with Lace Inset

A Public School District approached us to develop a vintage-inspired pro club men pullover hoodie around a single idea: lace inset, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for South Korea and needed vintage-inspired 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

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Crochet was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The pro club men pullover hoodie was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Lace Inset 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 8-week window.
• Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
• The a Public School District 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.
