I am going to use a white shirt and gonna make it all dirty so its yellow/brown so to speak.I am also thinking about some black dickies pants and this jacket<a href=\"http://www.dickies.com/wc2/product.asp?cat=101&cats=112&type=H&styd=61261BK&pdscr=61261+DIAMOND+QUILTED+TWILL+JACKET\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.dickies.com/wc2/product.asp?cat...ED+TWILL+JACKET</a>

I say for the white shirt use tea to set an old aged color to it. For the rips use scissors, and cut small holes, dont regret making big ones. Then you can use coffee for the holes, its richer than the yellow brown the tea is. But the tea works well to create the sweat stain look of the shirt.For the pants, I say dont buy dickies twill pants. Twill pants have a funny look and feel to them, I say use some cheaper brand at your local walmart you can find. For the edges, you can cut small parts of the pants off (like the edges of the seem) and use a rough sponge to fray it (you could do the same for the shirt holes). Maybe put a hole or 2 in the pants legs, use dirt to weather around the holes. You could distress the pants in certain areas by even wearing them and rolling in the dirt lol.For the jacket, I'm not really sure. A lot of people use brown spray paint to set a brownish color. Then use black spray paint for certain areas, and maybe acrylics so it doesnt look all sprayed on. Use different tones of brown too, not the same brown throughout the whole thing. Then it will all just blend... To fray the jacket, im not sure, I dont have one to tell. People are saying cheese graters, but noones being specific on how to do it...

To do the initial weathering on my Freddy hat, sweater, pants and shoes, I used a creme brulee propane torch and very lightly heat and scorched areas. Worked excellent on the edges, but was a bit too small for doing the larger areas of the pants and sweater. It did give an accurate burned look since it was actually burning. The key is to heat it without doing massive damage. And also be careful not to make it look too "purposefully random" and spotty.Overall, I think the effect is pretty great and will be touching the rest of it up with some faux painting techniques for more variance. Also, with actually burning/scorching -- you get a nasty burnt smell. Not too pleasant, but probably close to how a character like Freddy actually smelled. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"\" border=\"0\" alt=\"biggrin.gif\" />

cheese grater!!! makes fraying simple.. Mod podge to give it that wet look, but careful, because it makes fabric thin and as delicate as paper.. if you can get your hands on some premawet, that would look alot better if you are looking for that wet look
