Minimalist Stylish Children Down Jacket in Merino Wool with Feather Trim
Minimalist Stylish Children Down Jacket in Merino Wool with Feather Trim
A Restaurant Chain approached us to develop a minimalist stylish children down jacket around a single idea: feather trim, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for the Philippines and needed minimalist 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Merino Wool was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The stylish children down jacket 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
- 600 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Restaurant Chain 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.
