Editorial Swimwear Men Board Short in Merino Wool with Chunky Chain Strap

A Maternity Wear Brand approached us to develop a editorial swimwear men board short around a single idea: chunky chain strap, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for Brazil and needed editorial 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 previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
• The sample did not match the runway reference

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Merino Wool was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The swimwear men board short was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Chunky Chain Strap 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 12-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Maternity Wear Brand launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.

What we would repeat

Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
