Designer Sublimation Soccer Wear in Washed Linen with Hand-Finished Hem

Designer Sublimation Soccer Wear in Washed Linen with Hand-Finished Hem

A Pet Grooming Franchise approached us to develop a designer sublimation soccer wear around a single idea: hand-finished hem, executed in washed linen. The capsule was destined for Russia and needed designer 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

• Delivery missed the collection launch window
• The sample did not match the runway reference
• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Washed Linen was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The sublimation soccer wear was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Hand-Finished Hem was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
5. 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 2.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Pet Grooming Franchise 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.
