It was language. The Kente, woven in strips of silk and cotton by master craftsmen in Bonwire since at least the 17th century, was reserved for royalty. Each color a meaning. Each pattern a statement. Gold for wealth and royalty. Green for growth and renewal. Black for spiritual maturity and the ancestors. Red for passion and political strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Kwame Nkrumah wore Kente at Ghana's independence in 1957, the world saw it for what it is: not a pattern, but a declaration. A reminder that African civilization does not need permission to be sophisticated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ashanti Bomber — Kente does not reproduce Kente. It inherits its energy. The bold colors that run across this jacket — rust, teal, ochre, cream — carry the same visual grammar that West African weavers encoded over centuries. The silhouetted figures and glyphs woven into the design speak to a civilization that was already keeping records while others were still asking the questions. You wear this because you know where you come from. And even if you're still learning — this jacket is the first question.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll-over print bomber with full metal zipper.

significant?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nKente is a handwoven silk and cotton fabric originating from the Ashanti people of Ghana, dating back to at least the 17th century. Each color and pattern carries specific cultural meaning — gold for royalty, green for renewal, black for the ancestors. It became a global symbol of African heritage and diaspora pride after Ghana's independence in 1957, and is widely worn at cultural celebrations, graduations, and Black History Month events across North America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho were the Ashanti?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Ashanti (also Asante) were the dominant group of the Akan people, forming a powerful confederation in the forest region of present-day Ghana. The Ashanti Empire, established in the late 17th century under Osei Tutu, became one of the most sophisticated polities in West African history — known for its gold trade, legal system, military strength, and the sacred Golden Stool (Sika Dwa), the symbol of the nation's soul. The Ashanti resisted British colonization across four wars (1823–1900), earning international recognition as one of Africa's greatest military and cultural powers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Ashanti Bomber — Kente available in Canada?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. KonectKemet ships across Canada. The Ashanti Bomber — Kente is produced on demand and shipped directly to your door — no retail intermediaries, no pre-made inventory. Each jacket is made when you order it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does KonectKemet mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nKonectKemet (Connect + Kemet) is a cultural and philosophical project using clothing as its medium. Kemet is the ancient Egyptian name for their own civilization — meaning \"the Black Land.\" KonectKemet roots its designs in the intellectual tradition of Cheikh Anta Diop, who demonstrated the African origins of Kemetic (ancient Egyptian) civilization and the cultural unity of Africa across millennia. Every product carries a concept, a story, and a connection to that heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the fabric composition of the Ashanti Bomber?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe jacket shell is 100% polyester, designed for durability and vivid all-over print reproduction. The lining is dark blue polyester. Machine wash cold (max 30°C), dry flat, medium heat iron. Do not dry clean or bleach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this jacket different from other African print jackets?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMost African print clothing uses the aesthetic as decoration. The Ashanti Bomber — Kente is grounded in historical intent. The design references the visual grammar of Kente — the patterns, colors, and symbolism of the Ashanti weaving tradition — connected to a specific historical narrative. The brand does not sell African aesthetics. It transmits African history through clothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMachine wash: cold (max 30°C \/ 90°F)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIron, steam or dry: medium heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDry flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDo not bleach\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDo not dry clean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEU representative\u003c\/strong\u003e: HONSON VENTURES LIMITED, gpsr@honsonventures.com, 3, Gnaftis House flat 102, Limassol, Mesa Geitonia, 4003, CY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct information\u003c\/strong\u003e: Generic brand, 2 year warranty in EU and Northern Ireland as per Directive 1999\/44\/EC\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"XS","offer_id":45799707836607,"sku":"15802036505056125120","price":100.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"S","offer_id":45799707869375,"sku":"21450931553949995147","price":100.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":45799707902143,"sku":"23624650407333547905","price":100.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":45799707934911,"sku":"11102056977055678903","price":100.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":45799707967679,"sku":"11515414534288897870","price":100.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2XL","offer_id":45799708000447,"sku":"12134858768073998904","price":100.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3XL","offer_id":45799708033215,"sku":"25418718431888452494","price":100.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5276\/1791\/files\/tribal-silhouette-graphic-bomber-jacket-colorful-e_1.png?v=1782791308","url":"https:\/\/konectkemet.com\/fr\/products\/tribal-silhouette-graphic-bomber-jacket-colorful-ethnic-print-aop","provider":"KonectKemet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
