Imported to Kenya for 15 cents, resold and sold again for 45. Then someone got 12 cents to cut it up, 18 cents to tailor it and 14 cents to wash and iron the shirt. Finally a vendor bought it for $1.20, to hawk it off to its future wearer who, for some $2 to $3, owns an bespoke, artisanal Motörhead shirt whose tag says XL but fits like a small, with a cheerful blue collar and some rather jaunty yellow sleeves.

To all the fashion boutiques looking for next summer’s big thing, I suggest the flight to Nairobi at 2:30 tomorrow afternoon.
