Tailored Soccer Athletic Uniform in Metallic Thread with Draped Neckline
A Shopify DTC Brand approached us to develop a tailored soccer athletic uniform around a single idea: draped neckline, executed in metallic thread. The capsule was destined for China and needed tailored 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
- 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.
- Metallic Thread was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The soccer athletic uniform was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Draped Neckline 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
- 600 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Shopify DTC 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.
