Vintage-Inspired Tapered Mens Sweat Pants in Vegan Leather with Cut-Out Detail
Vintage-Inspired Tapered Mens Sweat Pants in Vegan Leather with Cut-Out Detail
A Coffee Roaster Chain approached us to develop a vintage-inspired tapered mens sweat pants around a single idea: cut-out detail, executed in vegan leather. The capsule was destined for Peru and needed vintage-inspired 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 sample did not match the runway reference
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

- The tapered mens sweat pants was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Cut-Out Detail was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

Result
- 1,500 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Coffee Roaster Chain launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
