Fallout 2 mod Combat jacket with blue jeans for Player character? (Absolutely new to modding FO 1/2)

First time out of the vault
Is there any guide somewhere here for viewing, extracting and editing player character sprites in FO1/2?

I want to alter the combat jacket to have blue jeans/long hair similar to NPC sprites but I don't know the first thing about modding. I am aware there are thousands of sprites to edit for such a small alteration but I need to start somewhere, I don't even know what to do after extracting the FRM files from DAT. If I learn more maybe I can help in the future in projects for other aesthetic changes to armor.

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

I am willing to take on the multiple thousands of sprites to alter the PC combat leather jacket in order to replicate the look, I just don't know how or where to begin.
 
This is an old guide to copy & paste different Critters together to make a new one. I'm assuming you can use GIMP instead of Photoshop too:
https://falloutmods.fandom.com/wiki/Making_a_new_character_using_existing_Fallout_characters

The FRM Extractor is available here in Resources. The Fallout General Modding section has a video guide series by Quantum Apprentice tagged you should check out too. At the end of the Make New Critters in Blender video, he shows you for making any new character, you have to make a Proto File of that sprite. ProtoManager is also in the Resources section, but be warned, anti virus software will delete the .exe. If you're using any anti virus, you have to go in and check ProtoManager as a program for the scans to ignore.
 
This is extremely helpful, thank you.

Would I really need to make a new proto file if I am planning on altering an existing assortment of sprites, specifically for the male hero leather jacket?
