I think the Todd shirt is great for the later episodes, but it's too dark and brown for Raiders. So I set out trying to recolor it. I have already run into a huge snag though, as I cannot seem to get the color out.  Rit color remover just isn't cutting it with this shirt. Has anyone figured out a method for recoloring this shirt? Thx, BF |

I recall someone in another thread saying that they used a tiny amount of bleach mixed with water in a bucket and it did the trick to get to that Cairo paper-like color. Nailed it perfectly in the pics. Their only problem was that the buttons were still the old yellow-ish color so they had changed them out. It might be in the comments on that "comparing four shirts" thread. If you try it though I'd advise being VERY careful about how much bleach you mix in as a little will go a long way. Hope this helps!

Wow, no luck. This color is REALLY stubborn. Tried color remover and 3 treatments with bleach and still the color won't go away. At this point I am going to leave it, as I am afraid the shirt will just fall apart if I try any more. Guess I'll start looking for a different shirt too.  |
