Avant-Garde Tapered Mens Sweat Pants in Crochet with Padded Shoulder

Avant-Garde Tapered Mens Sweat Pants in Crochet with Padded Shoulder

A Professional Sports Club approached us to develop a avant-garde tapered mens sweat pants around a single idea: padded shoulder, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for New Zealand and needed avant-garde 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

• The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
• The sample did not match the runway reference
• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Crochet 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. Padded Shoulder 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 6-week window.
• Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
• The a Professional Sports Club 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.
