Luxe Tapered Mens Sweat Pants in Mohair with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons

Luxe Tapered Mens Sweat Pants in Mohair with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons

A University Athletic Department approached us to develop a luxe tapered mens sweat pants around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in mohair. The capsule was destined for the United Kingdom 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

• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
• The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
• Delivery missed the collection launch window

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Mohair was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The tapered mens sweat pants was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Mother-of-Pearl Buttons 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

• 600 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a University Athletic Department 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.
