Capsule Shorts Softball Wear in Crochet with Monogram Hardware
A Construction Firm approached us to develop a capsule shorts softball wear around a single idea: monogram hardware, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for the United States and needed capsule 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Crochet 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.
- Monogram Hardware 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
- 900 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Construction Firm 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.
