Luxe Uv Protection Cycling Hat in Suede with Draped Neckline
A Streetwear Collective approached us to develop a luxe uv protection cycling hat around a single idea: draped neckline, executed in suede. The capsule was destined for Morocco and needed luxe 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Suede 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.
- Draped Neckline was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

- 2,400 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Streetwear Collective launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
