A
paper by John E. Akotena and Keijiro Otsuka on Kenyan Garment
clusters shows:
...that the well educated and highly socially networked tailors who are capable of producing a certain product quality standard are likely to link up with traders to become mini-manufacturers over time. This suggests that transactions with traders enable mini-manufacturers to outperform tailors, thereby contributing to the transformation of the mode of industrial production in developing economies.

Hi, I had some garments made whilst I was in Arusha, Tanzania.
The tailor was unbelievably good.
I picked out the fabric and told him what I wanted made, he had no pattern to go from and the end result was just fantastic.
Every time I return to Tanzania, I always get some type of apparel or bag made.
Great stuff.
Thanks for sharing this information.
