Doug's clothes, his multiple sets and the stunt multiple sets, ran
the gamut. First, the basic shirts were teched and gently aged while the basic jeans were overdyed and gently aged.
Following the fight in the dirt, the multiple shirts were airbrushed with 'dirt' dye and torn to match; the multiple
jeans were hand painted with 'dirt' acrylics to match the original.
Descended upon by hordes of locusts, the multiples, shirts
and jeans, had to have matching locust holes. All this was followed by a dip in the river of blood, struggling
up the muddy river bank and a run through the woods. Even the multiple belts and boots came in for their share
of work.

Fotunately, Ben's vest, multiples and stunt multiples didn't have
to encounter the river of blood but still had perilous times with the locusts.
The vests were aged/lightly distressed and several areas were bleached out. The
vests were then overdyed a warmer second color. Areas were sprayed with pigments to duplicate the dirt and wear
accumulated through years of misuse.
The hungry locusts eventually come across Ben's vest.

work.
