Designer Volleyball Compression Pants in Mohair with Feather Trim
A Surf School approached us to develop a designer volleyball compression pants around a single idea: feather trim, executed in mohair. The capsule was destined for the Netherlands and needed designer 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
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Mohair was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The volleyball compression pants was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Feather Trim 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
- 900 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Surf School 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.
