Custom Floral Wax Print Bomber Jacket

The custom Floral Wax Print Bomber Jacket was made by Nyambura Irungu for someone who wanted a vivid bomber in a floral wax print rather than a standard off-the-rack style. It is a useful example for anyone considering a made-to-measure African print jacket with a bold pattern, tailored fit and clean finishing.

• Request: The project focused on a custom bomber jacket in a lively floral wax print, with the final fabric choice settling on a black and yellow flower pattern and a black jersey lining.
• Final result: The finished jacket was a completed made-to-measure bomber with coordinated outer fabric and lining, photographed at the pattern stage, during assembly and again when fully finished and packed.
• Design details: This piece combined the structure of a classic bomber jacket with the visual impact of kitenge-style floral print, creating a casual statement layer that could work for everyday wear or for dressing up simple outfits.
• Fit and use: The jacket was cut to the provided measurements, which helped achieve the close, personalized fit expected from a custom clothing project rather than a standard-size jacket.
• Process: Progress updates showed the pattern pieces, joined jacket sections and lining before the final reveal, and the finished piece later received positive feedback for fit, finishing and attention to detail.
