Minimalist Uv Protection Cycling Hat in Cashmere with Delicate Pleating
A Security Company approached us to develop a minimalist uv protection cycling hat around a single idea: delicate pleating, executed in cashmere. The capsule was destined for Chile and needed minimalist 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- The sample did not match the runway reference

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Cashmere was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The uv protection cycling hat was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Delicate Pleating 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
- 2,400 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Security Company 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.
