Tailored Tapered Mens Sweat Pants in Crochet with Raw-Edge Detailing
An Independent Boutique Brand approached us to develop a tailored tapered mens sweat pants around a single idea: raw-edge detailing, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for Belgium and needed tailored 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- The sample did not match the runway reference

What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
