Abstract

This case shows the successful cooperation of Pace-Setter in customized Japanese shrine waistcoats for Japanese customers. The customer is a Japanese company that mainly sells groceries and provides the basic needs of waistcoats through design drafts. 

The highlight of this project is the process of transforming the design draft into an actual product. Two batches of 400 and 800 custom waistcoat were finally produced through precise printing and sewing 

We overcame the difficulty of understanding the style and successfully met the customer’s needs. The production of bulk goods took only 20 days, ensuring on-time delivery.

Initial Communication

On December 23, 2024, we received a customer from Japan, consulting on customizing a batch of waistcoats for shrine activities. The customer mainly sells various groceries and has high standards for the design and quality of traditional cultural products.

Because the shrine waistcoat is unique, the customer provided only a design draft without a physical reference. Therefore, we carefully confirmed the size, process, and printing effect during communication.

The customer required the japanese waistcoat to be made of 150D Oxford cloth with a white background and a one-color printed logo, measuring 35*36cm to ensure the waistcoat is light, durable and features a visible logo.

Proofing and Production

During the proofing stage, we strictly followed the design provided by the customer to produce the first version of the white waistcoat and used digital printing technology to print the logo. After receiving the sample, the customer proposed to modify the style, believing that the neckline needed to be adjusted to better match the style of traditional shrine clothing. 

Therefore, we made a second proofing according to the customer’s bespoke waistcoat new needs and adjusted the neckline design. After finalizing the layout, we began mass production, which takes 25 days. The main processes include printing, shaping, cutting, sewing, quality inspection, and packaging. 

To ensure product quality, we strictly control the details of printing and sewing, and all custom printed waistcoat are fully inspected to ensure that the logo is printed and the waistcoat pattern is standard to meet customer requirements.

Customer Feedback

The customer highly recognized the quality of the final   , especially in the following aspects:

Printing effect: The digital printing process accurately restored the logo in the design draft, with rich colors and no deviation, fully meeting the customer’s requirements for high-quality printing made to measure waistcoats.

Sewing process: The hemming and flat sewing process ensures neat and durable edges, with well-crafted details that showcase Pace-Setter’s commitment to technical excellence.

Delivery time: It took only 27 days from proofing to mass delivery. The customer praised our efficiency, especially since the mass production was still completed on time after the second proofing.

The customer said that this batch of waistcoat received good feedback on the shrine activities and looked forward to more cooperation opportunities in the future.
