So common are the ‘chegets’ as they are popularly referred to that almost every Kalenjin man/woman would not miss in his/her wardrobe.

However, the brown jacket seems to be a past tense now as there is a new trend of the jackets in town.

It has of late been common among the top Kalenjin politicians that it is just a matter of time before it spills down to the common mwananchi.

The likes of Deputy President William Ruto, Uasin Gishu governor Jackson Mandago and Nandi Senator Samson Cheragei have been spotted with this jacket.
