Contemporary Shorts Softball Wear in Genuine Leather with Feather Trim
Contemporary Shorts Softball Wear in Genuine Leather with Feather Trim
A Yoga Retreat Brand approached us to develop a contemporary shorts softball wear around a single idea: feather trim, executed in genuine leather. The capsule was destined for Ukraine 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

How it was built

- Genuine Leather was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The shorts softball wear was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Feather Trim 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
- 240 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Yoga Retreat Brand 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.
