The story of the African print bomber jacket:
Negotiation phase
I'd love to make an offer for your idea. I've attached a few material examples that range between 1500 Kenya shillings and 4000 Kenya shillings, for you to choose from.Kindly let me know which one you like best.
Regards,
Nyambura.
thanks for your quick answer. I'd prefer the first or the last design, how much would I have to pay for the whole jacket on both options (including labour)? Do you eventually have another two or three design options that you could share with me?
Thanks in advance.
Best,
Jesse

Please see the attached photo of both the fabric as picked today and the drafted pattern for the jacket, being the first step towards constructing it.

Alright,
I look forward to seeing more.

Here we are so far...
The first three, are photos of the jacket front, back and sleeves.
The fourth, shows the front and back pieces joined together.
The 5th and 6th photo are of the jacket back and front respectively.
The last photo shows how the jacket looks with the sleeves attached.
I begin the final steps of adding light jersey lining and black rib knit (the trim on the neck, hem and sleeves of the jacket) tomorrow and will update you by end of day.
Many Thanks,
Nyambura.
Just seen the photos. The jacket looks nice. Can't wait to see the final outcome
