Re-dying NH Temple of Doom shirt ?

Does anyone here think that it's necessary to use Dalexs' re-dying technique to make NH's shirt accurate to Temple of Doom? Or, do you think it's original color is similar to what Indy wears in ToD?

I did redye my NH shirt just because I like the very faded coloring. However I believe that if you are patient enough after time the shirt will fade to a nice khaki color but not as light as after redying. I say this as I have used shirts very similar to the NH shirt over a number of years (they resemble a new british army number 2 dress shirt) after a couple of years they fade out very nicely.

NO WAY! Don't do it!
We all know that the only difference between the NH Raiders and the NH ToD/LC is the bottons, and that the color of both shirts is the same, right?
When I first got my NH Raiders last month, it occured to me immediately, "Hey, aside from the buttons this is the exact color of Indy's shirt in Pankot palace, especially the bedroom scenes!"
So, yeah dude my advice is LEAVE IT!
The NH shirt is the closest ("straight outta the box") color to what you see in Temple of Doom than any of the films!
You've got a winner, wear it! :D
