Well I'm not going out this year, my kids are with their mum on halloween this year, but I was thinking of doing a Reaver job on my face, and being an ex welder I have lots of ripped and shreaded clothing.
Although I might just put my outback coat on and answer the door in that.

As Kaylee. Found a very Kaylee-like flower long-sleeved shirt and just have to find a jump suit. No worries. Everything will turn out bright and shiny! ;-)

I won't be formally dressing up, but I will be wearing my Blue Sun shirt that day, and, if I go out, I'll be wearing my brown coat (bought before Firefly, but still).

fixedbyfaith & i discussed wearing our Kaylee & mal costumes for the Harvest party at church. We're supposed to be dressing up as heroes. I find it kind of funny actually. But it will be fun for the kids. Last year I went as MORK and all the kids thought I was a Power Ranger. Then pastor came up and asked if I was Captain Marvel Shazzam!

You bet, I'm working on a kickass (IMNSHO) Wash costume. I'm sort of going for a bridge 'tween the series and movie since the movie flightsuit and rubber vest are a little hard to do without lots of time. (I'm a real stickler for the little details.)

I've got a mil surplus flightsuit on the way (I'm even going to make replica patches,) a large personal collection of Hawaiian shirts to choose from, and will be buying a vest identical to the black one in the series (which will need to be painted black.) I found out it's a real military issue vest, and I even got some info from Shawna Trpcic, the costumer from the series!

The only thing I can't find are his shoes, which Shawna thinks were taken from Fox's rental department, and might have been used in the movie 'Aliens' since Wash's vest and some other firefly costume items were borrowed from the same area.

I'll probably upload some pics once I have it all together.

I am also going as Wash. Specifically from the series. I have the Hawaiian shirt, and some plastic dinosaurs. But the real thing that I went for is the hair. I dyed my hair to match his hair color exactly. But as for the rest, just jeans, my belt and slip-on shoes.

I actually gave the costume a test run on opening day, and I got some great responses to it.

C'mon, who's a lit-tle fear demon?
GILES: Don't taunt the fear demon.
XANDER: Why? Can he hurt me?
GILES: No, it's just… tacky.

I'm dyeing my hair too, My hairstyle's pretty much the same, I'll just grow it a little shaggier than I wear it.

Hey, if you want an even more authentic series look, I found a seller on amazon.com that sells recycled worker's coveralls fairly cheap. If you search for 'coveralls' you should find them, their store/seller name is barebones, I think.

That was the hard decision for me, to wear coveralls like wash, or go the flightsuit route. Since he /does/ have the red flightsuit in the series though, I figured that a dark green military one would be 'thematic' enough as long as I have the vest and shirt too, since at least one pair of Wash's coveralls were dark green.
