Bohemian Uv Protection Cycling Hat in Tencel with Delicate Pleating
A Uniform Supplier approached us to develop a bohemian uv protection cycling hat around a single idea: delicate pleating, executed in tencel. The capsule was destined for India and needed bohemian 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- 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.
- Tencel 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
- 400 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Uniform Supplier 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.
