Not sure of that one but if push comes to shove, I had to make a straightjacket look before. What I did was I took a longjohn shirt a size larger at the local Sears or Target ....any of those places.
Slice a small hole on the inside of the neckline hemming. Thread a LONG shoe string or lace through the hem so you can adjust the neckline. Tuck the excess on the inside and secure with a loose bow.
Sew up the sleeve holes but hem inside on the ends some strapping -- you can get it at any lawn store or you can get the stuff they use on back packs at a fabric store.
If you need to make it look old, ball it up like a piece of paper and tie it with loose twine, leaving enough to drape over the side of a large bowl or bucket. Secure that end with a clothspin if you wish.
Fill up a a 3 gallon container with boiling hot bowl of water -- add up to about 20-30 bags of tea. Put in the shirt. Keep it in there until the water turns room temp and check it. If it's not dark enough, leave it for an hour and check it again.
Wring it out and dry it in the dryer. The heat with permanently stain the fabric fibers. Remember to always wash cold and no bleach. ;-=)
You should be able to create this shirt for less than $10 and spook the crap outta people!
Best of luck!
