I have always gotten mine really wet, beaten it on a tree then wrap it around my shoe and drag my foot accross pavement. To get a dirty look instead of using shoe polish as it looks too black in my opnion, I dig a hole and bury it for a week or so. Then after it has sat there for a while I take a cookie sheet and put the shirt or pants in the oven on about 100 degrees for about an hour as the heat will kill anything in it. If you put some pine needles in there with the shirt while baking it it will give it a stiff look and feel. But since you are going for the wet look don\'t do that. I have also tied a long strong rope to the shirt and one end to a tree and tossed it in a lake to let the fish and what not nibble at it. Plus it usually gets pretty dirty in the lake.
