Boil some walnut hulls. Let cool, dip clothes, hang dry.

If it makes too much of a solid color, tye-dye like we did in the 70's.   :p  

Remember when we used to experiment?

Peace, love, and understanding!    :bigsmyl:

Thats good guys...but wasn't there some kind of wash out there that you could wash faded hunting clothes in and it would take the brightners out and return back to somewhat original darkness? I was thinking it came in 2 bottles
