Contemporary Summer Fedora Hats in Ribbed Jersey with Fringe Trim
A Golf Club approached us to develop a contemporary summer fedora hats around a single idea: fringe trim, executed in ribbed jersey. The capsule was destined for France and needed contemporary 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

- The summer fedora hats was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Fringe 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.

- The a Golf Club launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
