White shirt already grey from two wash-basin Kumbal nights — wear it to 6:53 or buy a cheap covered set near the market
We thought white was the street uniform. It is damp and grey. Third Kumbal listed 6:53. Shoulders need covering if we also do Maligawa at noon. Ordinary budget.

White is a temple habit, not a street uniform. Grey is fine on the 6:53 kerb. Covered shoulders and knees if you enter Maligawa. Sarong hire at the desk exists. Follow the board, not a blog. Hang the damp shirt, do not pack it wet for a hill hop tomorrow.
We bought a cheap cover near the market, wore grey on the street. Fine. Nobody checked our fashion on the kerb.
Socks for hot stone. Token in the pocket. Hats off. The grey shirt is a street problem, not a shoe-counter problem.
Pride buys a new white and then sits in leftover drizzle. Hang it. Wear the other shirt.
