My fellow people, its been 'claimed' all around Kenya that if you wanted to distinguish a kikuyu from the rest of Kenyans in a crowded place(bar,bus park,church etc), that all you will have to do is to look for anyone dressed in a dont touch my ankles Savco jeans, a leather jacket,a 'god father hat' and dangling like a thousand keys attached to his trouser(read savco) by a key holder...
Wagithuri na kariuki wa kariuki n the rest, do you agree?
...i must admit that i used to own one Savco jeans and my bro spots this big funny looking 'godfather'hat.....

nani mwingine hapa ako na Savco.....no bad intetions people.

All kikuyus have this in mind :-

Prove me otherwise !!!

"old is gold"

"mugunda mukuru uri umatho"

This is the reason,And i believe it.

I still wear my 'savco jeans' today.

He he he he h e! i had a black and a blue savco jeans ,i just gave them to my brother after adding some inches .The funny thing about savco inandumu na kundumu so you dont have to spend money on trousers .mine i had bought them in 1996 na saa hii my bro nicio omaga nacio agithii mungetho.

nguo ni cia kuhuumbira njaga. no reke njuge savco ndiari tondu yakiri goro muno. but i had this katrouser called Tokyo, a green one, and i had an imitation leather jacket. lakini sasa maendeleo na andu aya have made me change

I also owned a Savco jeans as it was the trend those days. And I must have been one of the first owners of a Tokyo trouser. When I got some kidogo money, I bought a "No Excuses" jeans suit na gutiri wanjiganaga ndathii gicagi. Tuiritu tuothe tuainukaga kurora kana mami niarahoete theci kana ithanwa kwao tugire tunyone. lol!
