Chic Uv Protection Cycling Hat in Ribbed Jersey with Raw-Edge Detailing
A Pet Grooming Franchise approached us to develop a chic uv protection cycling hat around a single idea: raw-edge detailing, executed in ribbed jersey. The capsule was destined for Austria and needed chic 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- The sample did not match the runway reference

- The uv protection cycling hat was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Raw-Edge Detailing was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

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