Luxe Softball Pitcher Cap in Tencel with Padded Shoulder
A Mining Company approached us to develop a luxe softball pitcher cap around a single idea: padded shoulder, executed in tencel. The capsule was destined for Hong Kong 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

How it was built

- Tencel was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The softball pitcher cap was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Padded Shoulder 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 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Mining Company 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.
