Before you can get this question answered, you must first determine whether the garment is washable, because if you can't wash it, it can't be dyed, and whether it is made of natural fibers, because it is pretty much impossible to find anyone willing to go to the trouble and mess of dyeing polyester. The only exception of which I am aware, at this writing, is Color Creek, in Alaska.

There are quite a few custom dyers who have listed themselves on my website's Custom Dyers Listing who are happy to dye washable garments that are made of natural fibers.
