Hi,

I'm intrigued why you are asking, bespoke tailoring and / or leather jackets aren't something I would associate with Kenya, at least not here at the coast, you might occasionally see a lady wearing a thin leather fashion jacket (probably imported) but I can't remember ever seeing a man in a leather jacket in my 6 years of visiting then living at the coast. There are seamstresses who will knock up or alter dresses or school uniforms but I can't remember seeing anything like a tailor who might tackle a jacket in cloth let alone leather.

Of course it might be an aspect of Kenyan life that for some reason I am blissfully oblivious of

We can get it done in London quite easily but it is a hankering that my wife has to get one made in Kenya as an anniversary present. I suppose we should have got one in India earlier this year but didn't think about it at the time..

I would steer her towards a nice piece of bespoke jewellery rather than take a risk.

I've been to Watamu a couple of times, don't think you'll get a tailor-made leather jacket. Try Malindi instead.
