Recycle Tent

There is a large military base in northern India, and military surplus goods are sold in the surrounding towns.
I was fascinated by the sight of fabrics of different colors depending on the battlefield - green for the jungle, beige for the desert, white for the snowy mountains - gathered together by wholesalers and piled up in layers. The people working there also wore military surplus goods carelessly, and I remember one man who looked strangely cool in particular, wearing a sheet from a sleeper train wrapped around his head as a turban.
Large military tents surplus to the army were washed and then cut, avoiding metal fittings such as grommets and windows. Sometimes disassembled fabrics were sewn together to make a single piece of cloth.
