Jim,
I like the thought of "Great Stuf" type foam filler for tree cracks and
cavities - it sticks tight, try using it without having to wear it for the
rest of the useful life of that shirt, and hardens up well so I would think
it would be insect proof. It does decay in sunlight but I suppose paint
might help.
