Custom Linen Pants & Skirts Manufacturing for Womenswear Brand (EU) | Linenwind Case Study

1. Client Background

Client Type: Womenswear Brand

Market: Europe

Brand Positioning: Contemporary minimalist womenswear, sustainable materials

Product Category: Linen Pants & Linen Skirts

The client is an EU womenswear brand offering clean silhouettes and wardrobe staples made from natural fabrics. To expand their warm-weather assortment, they planned a linen bottoms capsule with flattering fits and reliable size consistency for retail and e-commerce.

They required a linen clothing manufacturer that could support low MOQ production while maintaining stable measurements, neat finishing, and repeatable quality for future seasonal restocks.

2. Project Objective

• Develop a custom linen bottoms capsule (pants + skirts) with clean tailoring
• Ensure linen hand feel, drape, and durability suitable for EU customers
• Start with low MOQ to test best-selling fits and colorways
• Control shrinkage and measurement tolerance for consistent sizing
• Build a reliable workflow for repeat seasonal orders

3. Product Overview

Product Types: Linen wide-leg pants, tapered trousers, A-line midi skirts, wrap skirts

Target Channels: EU boutiques + online store

Season: Spring / Summer

Focus: Fit accuracy at waist/hip, smooth drape, and clean seam finishing

4. Custom Requirements

To meet the brand’s design and retail standards, the project included full OEM customization:

• Mid-weight linen selection with balanced structure and breathability
• Pre-wash / garment wash option to improve softness and reduce shrink risk
• Custom seasonal color palette (lab dips + bulk color approval)
• Pattern making and size grading (EU sizing)
• Consistent waistband construction and zipper/button placement
• Woven brand labels, size labels, and care labels
• MOQ: 60 pcs per style
• Total Styles: 4 styles (2 pants + 2 skirts)

5. Linenwind Manufacturing Solution

Linenwind aligned fabric finishing and shrink control standards at the start of the project to ensure stable sizing— especially important for bottoms where waist/hip measurements directly affect fit and return rates.

Our in-house pattern team developed patterns from the client’s tech packs and measurement specs. Two sampling rounds were completed to refine waist rise, hip ease, and skirt wrap overlap, improving comfort and silhouette.

During bulk production, we applied inline checkpoints on key operations: waistband symmetry, zipper installation, hem consistency, and label placement. Final inspection verified measurement tolerance, workmanship, and appearance consistency across size runs.
