Sculptural Uv Protection Cycling Hat in Organza with Open Back
A Security Company approached us to develop a sculptural uv protection cycling hat around a single idea: open back, executed in organza. The capsule was destined for Egypt and needed sculptural 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Organza 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.
- Open Back 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
- 120 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Security Company launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
