I have kept my 'lucky jacket' alive for a long time with the use of a magic marker. It does work !    :archer:

Good job.  I have made my own ASAT that way.  I guess I should have marketed it about 25 years ago!   :banghead:

Bears can attack people- although fewer people have been killed by bears than in all WWI and WWII combined.

I made a set of Texas camo with those permanent paint pens you can buy at the craft store...they still look prety good after two years of washing.

Then I got the bright idea that RIT dye and a foam brush would be much faster.  The RIT dye job didn't last through three washings before it faded to uselessness.

I also use fabric markers to spruce up or improve my camo. Like LC said, I never wear a matching top and bottom, the object is to not look like an object(but the background).
