Mal's suspenders, do y'all like the thin ones from FF, or the more 3-D-like ones from Serenity?

Yup, prefer the show suspenders. Don't have a big problem with the coat and the shirts, and can't remember what the pants look like. Honestly, I couldn't remember any difference anyways, so obviously, the change wasn't enough to actively bother me, which is good. I had to look at screencaps to know what you guys were talking about. But yeah, the rubber in the movie looks awkward and clunky and uncomfortable - very uncomfortable - and it makes me think of a giant zip tie or some other thing that would go on a robot. Or a car. Or an engine.

The series' version, all the way.
They were just so gosh darn cute. If I want space-agey stuff, I'll go watch BSG or Babylon 5 (not meaning any offense to those shows, I happen to be a fan of B5). I think the old suspenders reflect the western-y feel of the show, which you lost a great deal of in the film.

We probably can't say the same about the making of the suspenders...

HATED the movie suspenders, they look like tire treads, ridiculous. The series suspenders look more like real suspenders.
I aim to misbehave!

Well, practically speaking..the movie rubber suspenders (braces, whatever)would slip around on your shirt less,and would cut into your shoulders less when your gunbelt was dragging your pants down. (Just ask any woman who's worn a brassiere with thin straps).
Still think they look like part of a belt out of the engine he scavenged after it snapped on Kaylee one day. Or he mugged a kid for their Tonka truck.
The series set had style, panache, character. They lay better on the shoulders. Probably gave him a wedgie or something.
I decided that he had been shot in the arm at some point while wearing his brown coat and that pathetic patch job was the best he could do.
MAN was that ugly! I shudder every time I think of it. Looks like he tried to sew it shut, then when that didn't work he hit it with epoxy or something.
See? You can make a story to explain almost anything. (It's just not reading, can you make it bigger? Really scuff it up? No, bigger. More batchelory.)
The shirt? The movie shirt looked a little more dapper than usual with the fasteners and change in cut. The series shirt looked more homespun. Except that grey metallic polo/izod/garanamals thing he wore to the space bazaar. Ick. It looked scratchy.
Sorry. I'm coming off as a terrible costume snob, aren't I? Never ask for my opinion, you'll probably get it.
..and now I can't get down.

So right, BG. The cringe-worthy Wash-wear must
be a hard-copy of somebody's B&D or S&M dreams.
And no, the rubber deco on the sacred Coat is
*not* excusable. We know what a mend should
look like; there's one on the upper left arm
after (and sometimes before -- heh) Patience
wings the Captain on Whitefall.
Series suspenders were canvas. One hopes no
animals suffered in their making.

Oh, shiny piccy, Traveler. 
Series suspenders were much better. The movie ones looked like they were made from cargo straps. Bleech!
