Distressing Wool ?

[SeanB13]

I'm in the process of making a Biker Scout jumpsuit from scratch.​

I'm wanting to go for the deployed look, as opposed to the pristine, Death Star Scout, so I'm wanting to age the fabric to give it that lived-in look.​

I want the wear and tear to look realistic, not torn to shreds, filthy, or full of holes.​

I've never distressed Gabardine Wool before, so I'm open to any do's and don'ts, tips or tricks, that any one would be willing to share.​

Thank you, MaulWalker, that gave me some good ideas.​

My favorite part of the article....''Pour the leftover defecation-brown into a cup for later.''
