Set costumers on TV and movie projects use a very simple system for applying weathering/dirt to fabric items. They use Fuller's earth (diatomaceous earth) which is a brownish powder, and put a couple handfuls in an old sock. Simply pat the sock wherever you want "dirt" and the stuff'll come right through and be deposited in the spot. Alot will shake off, but if a heavy enough treatment is applied, and you rub it in, it won't even wash out (believe me ).
