The Stripped book · Vol. 01Nairobi · 2026

Golf,
stripped
back.

How two brothers set out to make golf in Kenya simple, exquisite and fairly priced. The idea, the drawings, the fabric, the fit.

01Why we started
Golf in Kenya deserves a proper home: simple to buy into, exquisite to wear, and priced so you can actually play.

Buying golf gear here has meant guessing. Clubs bought abroad without trying them, apparel that runs hot at altitude, prices that make the game feel closed to most people who would love it.

Stripped is the answer we wanted for ourselves. We take away everything that doesn't help you play: the logos for the sake of logos, the mark-ups, the jargon. What's left is well-made gear, chosen and designed for Kenyan courses, at prices that make sense.

Simple, so anyone can start. Exquisite, so it feels special every time you put it on. Fair, so the game grows.

Simple

Clear choices, honest descriptions, a fit guide that tells you what to buy. Pay on delivery, 30-day returns.

Exquisite

Considered fabrics, clean silhouettes, one quiet mark. As good at the clubhouse as on the 18th.

Fair

Priced to play, not to show off. Credit back on every order, so being with us costs less over time.

02Behind the scenes
Founders' portrait coming soon

Founders · Ian Love and Kevin Bond

“We're brothers, and golf is the thing we've always shared. Weekend rounds, arguments over clubs, the same frustration every time we went looking for gear in Kenya: good kit cost too much, and the affordable stuff didn't feel special.”

“So we started Stripped to build what we wanted for ourselves. Every piece goes across our table, from the first sketch to the fabric swatch to the fit sample. If it isn't something we'd wear to our own tee time, it doesn't make the range.”

03From idea to blueprint

Every piece starts
as a drawing.

Before anything is made, it's drawn to the millimetre: front, back, seams, stitch lines and measurements. These are the real design sheets for our first polos, in development for 2027.

  1. i

    Sketch

    A problem on the course: heat, rain, a collar that won't sit. A rough idea of the fix.

  2. ii

    Blueprint

    The technical flat: every seam and measurement, in centimetres, for the maker.

  3. iii

    Sample

    Fabric sourced, a first piece sewn, worn for nine holes, marked up.

  4. iv

Chosen for 1,795 m
above sea level.

Nairobi sits high, the sun is strong, the mornings are cool and the afternoons aren't. Every fabric is picked to breathe, stretch with the swing and hold its colour.
