Haven’t gotten to that point yet. That’s down the road. Usually I go to Ebay.
Sort of finished… need to rough up thee NAVY BLUE coveralls… fuck. They are the only ones I can find right now that fit me perfect… but im worried about this navy blue… how to grunge them up??? tips about how to fix the coveralls?, help. My OCD is kicking in that they are navy blue… but everything about them i love.
Fade them then dye them the colour you want, then rough them up with sandpaper
This. Throw them in the wash and get a greyish dye to blend the coveralls. Sandpaper will help give them an aged look as well. Before it gets too cold out, also leave them outside hanging in the sun to fade them a bit.
and pastels crushed to powder can be rubbed in for stains, even cheap makeup from a drug store
Thanks guys, appreciate these tips! I did some search on the dye, apparently these are 65% polyester … which is know to be a tougher to die. Gonna try what you guys said! Much appreciated!
I’m really looking for a good knife prop but don’t want to spend that much. Any recommendations?
What I did was get a real knife and dulled the hell out of it, it’s cheaper to get real knives and dull them down than to get prop ones.
If you want a 1978 replica either TOTS foam Lamson, Dirtknap FX Classic 78 or you could look at a tutorial on creating one from wood and spray paint
Hello everyone I’ve seen many fantastic coveralls on this thread…I recently purchased this one in particular…like with another person here my coveralls are 65% polester…do you guys think these coveralls can be dyed? They are REED coveralls post blue which is great in some lighting but in natural lighting almost looks light powder blue…I have Rit dye color denim which I’ve used on a previous 1/6 scale collectible and it dyed it like a grayish navy…I would love to hear your recommendations.
This is awesome.
My only note would be (I didn’t read through all 430 posts, sorry) is that after speaking to my pal in camera department for the new 2018 Halloween the coveralls are Navy, not charcoal
Many movie sources have also said they’re charcoal, though. This definitely adds a twist!

Just scored these for 30 bucks off eBay. Roebucks. Good deal?
Awesome deal!
Can you snap a picture of them unzipped? I have a pair of Sears Work Leisure and wanted to compare.
After some digging. Inside source. The 2018 were NAVY BLUE heavily weathered/faded coveralls. I believe Nick also said the same thing?
Where do people keep getting navy blue from? What “inside source”? It’s confirmed charcoal grey.
One of the top factors for me has been that charcoal workrites can pull off navy blue and also Charcoal, whereas the Navy Blue can’t pull off a charcoal color (as the hero pairs do).

the hero pair are Charcoal with a hint of Navy, not a lot, just a bit
