Case study / Protective apparel
A familiar hoodie silhouette engineered around concealed impact protection and precise technical control.
The development journey
The project moves from an understated hoodie exterior into the concealed architecture that positions armor, controls fit and defines the factory reference.
Confidentiality note Some details in the original technical documents have been intentionally blurred to comply with NDA obligations and client approval requirements.
Stage 01 / Visual direction
The colour CAD establishes an all-black pullover with a structured hood, restrained chest mark and front kangaroo zip pockets. Front and back views keep the initial read deliberately clean.
Stage 02 / Exterior definition
The first technical sheet defines the visible build: hood paneling, drawcords, rib finishes, pocket geometry and seam placement. A dedicated detail sheet then clarifies the relationship between the shell and protective zones.
Stage 03 / Concealed protection
An inside-out construction view maps protective inserts across the shoulders, elbows and back. Supporting renders make that architecture legible without changing the hoodie’s understated outer appearance.
Stage 04 / Fit and production control
The measurement guide connects each point of measure to the garment and protective zones. The specification sheet and bill of materials carry that logic into fit review and component control.
Measurement values, material data and client details remain intentionally blurred in the original files.
Stage 05 / Visual resolution
The render sequence moves between the finished silhouette and its functional details: the sleeve opening, protective insert system, back view and tonal chest identity.
