I like this choice a lot better bro. It looks close enough. Less than 10% of the hard core Firefly fans will notice any difference.
Remove the epaulets, run some stiching down the left side and call it a
success!:cool
You know, you make me too want to buy those earlier A&F jackets for everyday wear...:lol

I finally took some pics of my jacket... sadly the tags were all cut out along with the liner, so I don't know what it was.
It's an Abercrombie of some sort. I'm fairly confident this is either the right one or VERY closely related. The odd pockets on the elbows being the main thing that stands out.
I also did a closeup of my iron ons as actually on a t shirt:
Oh - the shirts I used are Hanes Beefy Ts. kurtyboy picked them out, and they looked good to me so I got a few myself/
And last... my latest project, which may be of interest. "stunt" Jayne knives:
The one on the left is the real Rough Rider bowie. The right is a resin handle that I painted up. Just a quick mold of the knife and away we go.
It's got about 1" of "blade" in the sheath, then a loop of wire that's set into the resin. You can bend the wire around so that it fits well in the sheath

[*] Well, the ones I've made for other folks have the wire. The picture is of the first one, which had a 3/4" aluminum bar. I stopped doing that since it still looked sort of weapony when drawn.

yeah, i had the real one at dragoncon and it just seemed sorta wrong.
any luck getting a shirt? maybe when you get the shirt out to me, it can come back with a knife handle wrapped up in it
well, at that rate you could also just make a resin copy of the whole thing. i've thought about that too... using some sort of semi-rigid resin.
my particular goal here was to have something that was undeniably not a weapon. a resin one could still look scary from a few feet away.
i'm actually planning to glue mine into a sheath so it can't even be pulled out.
Cargo Pants/BDU's and yes, EMT pants
Hell, I think in a couple of episodes they might be plain khaki's.
Kinda Hard to tell in some episodes.

Brian I wanted to thank you for all the work and for your site it was very instrumental in me getting my Jayne together. It's not complete by any means but I had a con to get to so this is far as I got before that...
Still desperately trying to find the correct gaiters, I need to replace the gloves for some with thumbs, I need tighter pants, couple of pouches still to make and I want to finish working the guns.
Anyone know where to find these?
This is broken ... hoping it comes back!!! http://img358.imageshack.us/img358/323/best6gy.jpg

Hi there, I see this thread had been dormant for a couple of years so I thought I'd revive it with a couple of questions. Anyone been able to identify the brand of gaiters Jayne wears? And as for his drop holster from the series that he keeps his LeMat in, any ideas on that one?
Thanks

OK, I found another thread in which the holster is identified as possibly being the Eagle Industries, SAS MK III Holster. Anyone have this particular holster, and will it fit a modified LeMat?
sgmorton,
Could you elaborate? Been a while since I've worked on my Jayne costume.
Trying to get my "Miranda" costume finished.
Thanks

Wow, that is a great Jayne Cobb costume! Probably one of the best I've seen, you really have the look down.
