I usually don\'t have much to do with these threads, but since it\'s you Ben, I\'ll lend my info! Go to any Wal-Mart and in the mens department there will be a work wear section. Grab a 2 pocket olive green shirt, and matching pants if you want the full costume. To add the rip and tear FX use a serrated knife, and do it in a stabbing motion, then pull apart the hole to get it real nasty lookin! If you have the 18\" Jason figure NECA did, that\'s a great guide for tear placement, if not, pop in the DVD and do some pausing. Once you have it all ripped up to your liking, get some acrylic paints, (black and lots of different browns, gray, yellow ocher and what ever else you think would work) and a cheap spray bottle. Hang the shirt up and get the arms to stick out straight at the sides, take the acrylic paints and water them down to pretty much a water consistancy. Put that in the spray bottle, one color at a time, and give the shirt a fairly good misting. Throw it in the washing machine and wash it cold, hang it to dry and repeat if you want it darker and grimier. If you want that wet look, soak it in perma wet and let dry. That\'ll do it! Good luck man!
