Tuff like a Tiger!


I assume that the proprietor of this photo is currently lying in a shallow, sandy grave. Yes, the Tamil Tigers-- they're rough, they're tough! By their stripes you shall know them! This regular, non-overlapping, small-scale very directional pattern is not to be mistaken for the patterns from the Republic of Vietnam properly known as Tigerstripes.

It's bad enough on its own, but whoever sewed the uniform made it worse. The made the stripes follow the direction of the arms and torso, hence emphasising their form rather than disguising their form.
