The jacket looks really beautiful. A few comments we would have: - The inner lining does not slide, making it difficult to put on. The sliding side seems to be sewn inside - should that evtl be reversed? - The shoulder width and the armpit opening fit exactly, but are too tight when moving, the jacket then stretches. - The sleeve cuffs twist when putting on.

A request by Martin from Brixen (BZ), Italy

Hello Urban Change Lab,
I like the wax-print bomber jacket I saw on your website. I want the same for my wife, also made by Nyambura Irungu. I can send you her measurements in another post. I will send the fabric I like best at the next opportunity.
Thank you,
Martin Thaler

Hey my name is Phelesia, I’d like to fulfill your request. Unfortunately, Nyambura is currently not available to fulfill the request for you but I’ll equally do a great job.I’ve uploaded images of different fabrics in sstock. I'll still be on the look out for the specific fabric that you want,To fulfill your request I’d like the following measurements in cm
1. Shoulder - Should be shoulder bone to shoulder bone.
2. Bust.
3. Waist.
4. Sleeve length - Shoulder bone to wrist bone
5. Sleeve width - Around bicep
6. Cuff - around wrist
7. Length - full length of the jacket.

Martin (4. December 2021)

Phelesia, hey, thanks for the message.
Any chance you can still find the fabric?
Here are the measurements:
1. 40 cm
2. 92 cm
3. 74 cm
4. 62 cm
5. 30 cm
6. 16 cm
7. 60 cm (where should I measure?)
Thanks and greetings, Martin (Automatic translation)

Phelesia Oketch (6. December 2021)

Hi Martin, I hope you are doing fine, unfortunately the fabric is not available, I've been looking for it since yesterday. The fabric is called kitenge and the manufacturers normally renew the prints after every 2 years, This means that the older ones disappear (like the one you sent) The ones I sent are readily available. Please choose from one of them.

Martin (7. December 2021)

Hello Phelesia,
thank you for the suggestions.
Of these I find the most suitable:

BIs when could I expect to get the jacket?
I understand if I haven't received it yet for Christmas,
perhaps ain photo goes out that I can show then?
Many thanks and greetings, Martin (Automatic translation)

Phelesia Oketch (8. December 2021)

Hi Martin, Thank you for your response, You've made a good choice, The kitenge is really nice, I like it too... I'm sure it will look good on her.
I would like to clarify on something before I start working on it. What colour of the rib material (The one used on the wrist, neck and waist) do you prefer? Black, red or blue?
and please don't worry about it. I'll work on it as fast as possible, you will probably have the bomber jacket before Christmas.

Martin (8. December 2021)

Phelesia, hi,
thank you for asking.
I can't see it so clearly, but it seems to me in the fabric pattern there is also black in it?
If so, happy to use black for the rib fabric.
If you have a dark blue that matches the exact tone in the fabric, happy to use that.
Before Christmas is great, thanks.
HG Martin (Automatic translation)

Phelesia Oketch (8. December 2021)

True, The better part of the material is black so it's advisable to use a black rib material.
I'll buy all the materials tomorrow and start working on it.

Martin (8. December 2021)

Hi, just one more thing:
With the length of the jacket, there I did not know how to measure it.
Therefore, a hint that is probably sufficient:
My wife is 1,81 m tall.
Thanks and greetings (Automatic translation)

Phelesia Oketch (8. December 2021)

Okay Martin, no problem, I'll use the hint. Again how did you take the rest of the measurements? Fitting (very close to the skin) or loosely?

Martin (8. December 2021)

Would say fitting. (Automatic translation)

Phelesia Oketch (8. December 2021)

Okay, Thanks for your response Martin. I think I now have all the information that I needed.

Nyambura Irungu (9. March 2022)

Hello Martin! This is Nyambura.
I hope you are well and thank you once again for the order you made.
At the time you made the order I wasn't in a position to attend to you as quickly as was needed.
Also, please accept my apologies for the delay in responding to you as I was looking for the same fabric to make a replacement jacket but it is currently out of stock.

I have however attached an option that is slightly similar as well as others to look through, should the similar one not work
for you.

Once you make your choice, I'll work on getting it to you at the soonest.

My apologies once again and thank you for your patience.

Best Regards,
Nyambura.

Martin (9. March 2022)

Hello Nyambura,

thank you for your message.
Do you perhaps still have the fabric I had picked out quite originally?
It is red and turquoise and I think it was one of your fabrics.
The file is called: Screenshot_20191008-140042_1-1.jpg
Many thanks and greetings, Martin (Automatic translation)

Nyambura Irungu (10. March 2022)

Hello Martin,
You are very welcome.
Sadly, that was a print that was available in 2019 and isn't in the shops any more.

My apologies for having to put you through the selecting process again.

I've added two more options that you could have a look through and share your thoughts.

Also, perhaps you could share your design preferences in terms of shapes and color schemes to guide my search for prints that will appeal to you.

Best Regards,
Nyambura.

Martin (12. March 2022)

Hello Nyambura,

thank you for the new suggestions.
We like this fabric very much:

Hello Martin!

That's fantastic! Thank you.
I'll get it tomorrow and have it ready by Wednesday.

You're welcome Martin. The jacket is ready now.

I've attached some photos of the production phase and the completed jacket. Thank you once again, for your order.

Thank you looks very good.

Nyambura Irungu (8. June 2022)

Hi Martin, I hooe you are well.

My sincere apologies for the fitting if the jacket and thank you for your patience and taking the pictures to relay the fitting.

In order to avoid another blunder, may I kindly request you to take measurements of a jacket or hoodie that fits her well so that I use those measurements instead of the body meaaurements in this chat.

I had added 2.5 inches of allowance from the measurements given and it still wasnt enough.

Please see the attached image named Bomber Measure Guide for how to measure.

Also, if you could send measurements of a shirt that fits you well, I would be happy to make you a complimentary shirt with accents from the bomber jacket fabric, for your trouble.

Many Thanks,
Nyambura.

Martin 26 Jun 2022 5:47 pm
Nyambura, hi,

here finally hopefully usable measurements:

Shoulder 37, Christ 52, waist ok, sleeve length 65,
Front length 58
Leeves too tight

So the most important thing would be that the sleeves are long enough and not too tight anymore,
and that there is more space at the shoulder.

Thank you very much for the shirt offer, do you mean a men's shirt?
Many thanks and greetings,
Martin

Nyambura Irungu (29. June 2022)

Hi Martin,

Thanks again for the measurements. They'll be of great help.

You're very welcome for the shirt, and yes, I mean a men's shirt.
When you send the shirt measurements please also send the bicep measurement for the bomber jacket. .

Many Thanks,
Nyambura.

Martin (11. July 2022)

Nyambura, hi,

my wife's biceps has a circumference of 28 cm.
The sleeve can be freely like wider.

Here are the measurements of one of my shirts:
Basically, I wear slim XL.
The collar size is 41.
The length in the back is from the collar to the lowest hem 80 cm
The shoulder line is 16 cm from the collar to the base of the sleeve respectively
The sleeve itself is then 65 cm long.
Is this information sufficient?
Many thanks and greetings,
Martin (Automatic translation)

Nyambura Irungu (12. July 2022)
