Luxe Quick Dry Surf Rash Guard in Ribbed Jersey with Sculptural Draping
A Yoga Retreat Brand approached us to develop a luxe quick dry surf rash guard around a single idea: sculptural draping, executed in ribbed jersey. The capsule was destined for Austria and needed luxe 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Ribbed Jersey was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The quick dry surf rash guard was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Sculptural Draping 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
- 1,500 pieces delivered inside the 12-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Yoga Retreat Brand 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.
