I'm planning on entering the Costume Contest at my CSTS screening tonight, as Mal, but I'm lacking suspenders and a belt!

Any cosplayers know what type of suspenders and belt I should look for?

(Note: I'm going for Mal's blue shirt outfit seen in some of the episodes, not the maroonish shirt)

PIE!

Do you have a Serenity Official Visual Companion?

Black rubbery one suspenders from Serenity

Or Firefly Official Companions 1 or 2.

Light Brown suspenders.

Brown Belt with square brass(?) buckle.

Try a western clothing store if you got one near you.

With a little more time, I coulda helped ya as I am the catalog queen but that would require placing an order, etc. I'm sorry...but good luck to you.

Well, another problem is, I live in Australia (Melbourne) so some of your recommendations may not apply...Hmm. Going out shopping today, anyway.

Mal has two pairs of suspenders in the show. One is a simple narrow leather set. The other is that cool old fashioned canvas pair in most of the eps. That bineg said, I'm not sure where you would find either of them. The belt shouldn't be much of a problem though. Just our basic, wide, brownish/redish leather belt with a brass buckle.

Op: You're fighting a war you've already lost.
Mal: Yeah, well I'm known for that.
