I decided to dress up like Jayne for Halloween this year, seeing how I have a fair amount of mil surplus type gear, it wouldn't be that hard. Got myself a cunning hat, a blue sun shirt, and was about set.

Just to spice it up a bit, I looked around for a sling similar to what he had in the Serenity movie. The strap around his chest, namely.


And since I can't find a really good pic, one of the action figure:


I've found a few things that would work, sure, but I'm a bit neurotic about stuff for some reason. I really don't want to end up with something that has plastic clips and all that. Something big with a metal buckle would be awesome.

Yeah, Halloween is over, but I'd like to see what's out there that I (hopefully) missed.

Thanks!

I know this is a bit late but thought i might as well give this bit of info. the sling looks a lot like the "Carbine Sling" on this webpage. with medal and some glue it will look somewhat close ;)

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.


Adam told me at Dragon Con back in September that they used one of the straps from a parachute for the rig Jayne wore to secure his "repeater". This conversation came up because I wore a Jayne costume @ Dragon Con & made a home made rig.

I have since found some parachute straps I bought off of Ebay to make into a more realistic looking rig.

That does look like a riser buckle now that you mention it. Have you been able to ID the little metal wavy bit just above it?
--To me it almost looks like an ornate stretched out Ethiopian cross.

Can anybody ID the hexagonal patch on Jayne's right shoulder in the bar scene in Serenity? I've ID'd the rest. HELP!!!

I got a parachute harness with 2 working buckles coming in from ebay now and some UK WWII Defence Medal ribbon. The ribbon appears to be the closest match that I can find.

If someone is interested (half the harness and 6" of ribbon) send me an email.

I got the harness yesterday and here are some detailed pics of the harness I posted on another forum.

Corrected - Jayne does have the buckle 'right side up'.
