I know we all hate graphic tees, I personally don't wear them but I might make an exception if there was basic chemistry and a unique end product involved. See if you can get a hold of something vague in a bin at a thrift store. Not even a full-on graphic tee necessarily but the sort of thing that gets handed out to new employees in some horrid place with a massive turnover rate. Maybe a single word or a very simple logo on the chest that's nebulous enough to take in no particular context at all.

It shows you how to do Pic Related, in great detail. If I was going to do this, I'd probably want to erode as much of the image as possible, leaving only faint outlines.

One technique I've seen referenced in costuming is known as "Dirty Water". It can provide fades to fit your body exclusively. First, you mix some white or grey waterbase acrylic in a bucket of water. Put the garment on and have a friend slowly empty the bucket on you. Wear the garment until it air dries. If you want to experiment with it, try using a cheap milsurp jacket made with cotton.

I realize that this sort of thing is a touchy topic, but with a bit of work and time, I think one of us could make something very interesting with a lot of mass appeal that manages to somehow transcend the role of graphic tee. Perhaps stenciling something over the top of an existing image that's been faded, degraded and shredded?

Yes, the rubberized seams on the zipped chest pocket kind of sealed the deal for me.
