Description Me in my Halloween Costume for '07. I also wore an early version to the Serenity premiere. I'll probably wear it to the next Fanime and, if I get a chance, San Diego ComiCon.

The components are pretty straight-forward. Brown shirt, khakis, black suspenders, and German Paratrooper boots. The holster I'm very happy about, 'cause its the closest retail holster to Mal's I could get. The gunbelt is an East German Police Service belt, and highly resembles Mal's.

Only real touch up needed at this point is the brown pinstriping on the pants. Photo also seemed to make the belt seem darker than it really is. It's actually much closer to the holster in color than it appears. Meh.

Photo by
I also have some photos with a trench-coat. Maybe I'll put those up later.

As per request, locations I got the pieces of this costume:
Belt - Military Surplus store
Holster - (don't remember, I'll get back to you)
Boots - Military Surplus store
Shirt - Goodwill Thrift Store (blind luck)
Pants - any department store will do
Suspenders - High-end department store (like Macy's)
Coat (not pictured) - Military Surplus store

Next time I'm in the costume I'll see about getting a shot with my Mal-esque expressions.

Lookin' sharp! Have you found a fantasy firearm of sorts to put in that snazzy holster?

you'd make a better simon, but great cosplay. You should just go outside and roll around in the dirst, make it look real.

Yeah, the stripes keep being glaringly obvious to me 'til I get it fixed. Oh well.
