He's really working over that bag on the tutorial. Good to see his bag can take the punishment since I have one.

Really good to see the shirt as well. Thanks for the links.

That's a good tutorial. My bag is taking forever to distress naturally!
I would add to use caution when adding bleach to distress products. Correct me if I am wrong but I believe the bleach will compromise the strength of the material.

I was wondering if somebody know how this kind of shirts are called? I think there was a thread quit a while ago about this. I guess the name was something like "cuba shirt" or "panama shirt"

I'd call them a safari shirt.

I am not sure if they have a specific name. They seem to be a type of military shirt with the epaulettes on the shoulder.

If you are referring to the Panama or Cuba shirt you might be thinking of the Guayabera shirt. I have a few vintage ones given to me by my dad. I love the styling, colors, and embroidery of the fancier ones!

Yes, this is the tutorial that I posted about that Todd was working on. I won his distressed bag at the Canada summit. It looks very good in person.

I think MK posted a picture of a Cuban, wearing a shirt like Indys, it may burned into my brain as Cuban shirt

I love the part where you bury the bag. Just do not forget where you buried it.

I gave Todd's distressing tutorial a shot yesterday for my bag. I wish I had pics to post but I am not done with it yet. I only used a capfull of bleach because I just really can't stand the smell of it. It did lighten the color a bit but I am going to go back and give it a second shot today and see if I can get it lighter in color. Has anyone else tried it??

Draw a treasure map!

We do not follow maps to buried treasure.

And X never ever marks the spot.

BTW, I just put my bag in the ground.

I don't think it'll dirty it up much though, since I live where there is no dirt, only sand.

I've tried it, and it looks like it is exactly the color of the one on his website after it has dried.

Did you use Ajax as well?

"Where's the treasure map?"

"I left it in the MK VII. D'oh!"

No. I did not use Ajax. I used Comet with bleach. Did you substitute Ajax for Comet or something similar?
Its a very good tutorial for getting the aged look on your bag. I am happy with the results.
