Sri Lanka Sea Tigers Camouflage Sports Mesh T-shirt XS to 5XL

Pattern: Sri Lanka Sea Tigers

The Cactus is the striped camouflage associated with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam – the LTTE, the group that fought in Sri Lanka from the mid-1970s until 2009. “Sea Tigers” is the MegaCamo catalogue label for this blue version, keeping it distinct from the lighter sky-blue Air Tigers colourway elsewhere in the range. The rendition here is the Sea Tigers colourway: a saturated blue ground crossed by darker navy horizontal striped bands.

Explore the Sri Lankan LTTE Tamil Sea Tigers Cactus collection to see this same blue Cactus on other garments. The best known are the Sea Tigers (the naval wing), the Air Tigers (the air wing) and the Black Tigers. Rather than the leafy blobs of a woodland pattern, the Cactus is built from horizontal bands of parallel stripes, each edged with small thorny, segmented breaks that give it a spiky, cactus-like texture – hence the name. Second, the striped Cactus construction is distinct from the pixel and blob patterns that fill streetwear, so it stands out to anyone who knows the tiger-stripe family.

Sri Lanka Sea Tigers on a sports mesh t-shirt

On a sports mesh t-shirt that balance earns its keep: the blue, navy and black stay legible at a distance without ever turning the shirt loud, and because the cloth is light and open it wears close to a plain summer tee. denim, white, grey and navy all sit comfortably next to it.

The shirt itself

This is the T45 sports mesh t-shirt: 100% polyester mesh cloth at 7.05 oz, with a relaxed fit and a soft hand that keeps it comfortable from the first wear. It weighs about 0.19 kg, so it stays light on the shoulders even in the larger sizes.

The mesh is open enough to move air and dry quickly, and the double-needle hemmed sleeves and bottom hold their shape instead of fraying. The print sits in the fabric and is made not to fade, so the camouflage stays as sharp as the day it was made.
