Just wanted to get some opinions before I jump into weathering the olive green army jacket and shirt I got for my Friday the 13th remake costume. I am wondering from experience what is the best method to get...A.) the olive canvas military coat close to black as possible? My first instinct was to take some black latex paint and water it way down and then sponge down the jacket with it... any other better way recommended? andB.) I have white long sleeve shirt that is already old and fraying but is not "tan" enough. Anything I can soak the shirt in to get it to look a bit more nasty?Once I get the base the way I like I just planned on using some brown and black latex paint and smear it on the clothing to look like mud.Any advice from the costumers would be helpfull before I begin my adventures!
