Ready for a wild ride? Hop aboard a Lanka Ashok Leyland for a lesson in lively transport. From blaring horns to belching engines, there’s little calm about Sri Lanka’s chaotic coaches. And the cacophonous soundtrack continues once you’re in: squeeze on at the bus halt and you’ll bounce along to a Baila playlist fit for the rowdiest batch party. All the better to distract you from the death-defying driving.

Get down from the bus.

What's the story?

Horns wailing, suspension straining, Sri Lanka’s buses know how to startle. With paint jobs as loud as their air horns – not to mention the Baila beats blasting on board – this is public transport at maximum volume, with velocity to match.

Windows open and standing room only, the ride inside is rarely relaxing. Coastal corners or hill country hairpins: in the race for fares, no turn is too optimistic for an overtake – oncoming traffic take note.

Whatever your destination, the island’s unmissable people-movers will shift you from A to B and side to side. Celebrate these ailing Ashok Leylands with our printed cotton tee – sure to be a honk-worthy hit at the bus halt.

Sizing

Our unisex tees fit true to standard European sizing.

• Medium will fit a 38in chest

Fabric spec

100% overstock cotton. Made in limited batches using surplus fabric from Sri Lanka's garment industry. Screen-printed by hand.

Our cotton weight ranges from 130-155gsm, so it sits well without making you sweat. Like a trusty sarong, our tees are comfortable, soft to touch and offer just the right amount of stretch.

Here's the tee.

From the fabric to the packaging, we like our tees to be greener than gotu kola. We use 100% overstock cotton sourced from Sri Lanka's garment industry. We also keep our offcuts, use eco shipping materials and pay fair wages to our team of local seamstresses.
