Wear worn-in jeans - patch the holes with an old bandana, flannel shirt or overalls with patches, a worn-in hat and gardening gloves. Stick some straw in various places to add to the effect. Use makeup to paint your face yellow and add short lines around your eyes to look like a sewn on patch. Use green make-up to paint an upside down triangle on your nose again adding short lines around it to look like a sewn on patch. Use red for the mouth and (with short lines again). Perhaps adding a small patch of color to your cheek for a repair.
