renegadecow Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Uh, dunno what that is. I meant these: Cheaper than buying knee high riding boots as you could essentially make them yourself using vinyl instead of leather and match them with a pair of old Dockers. Add spats to cover the laces. Link to post Share on other sites

Add spats to cover the laces. I'll be making something not dissimilar (but shorter) out of nylon webbing for my Jayne cosplay. might see how that looks when I finish them.

bobthebuilder Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Didnt Jayne wear regular combat boots? If you look close, in the first episode he had US jungle boots, with a short cuff on-top. Like this: In the rest of the series the jungle boots where replaced by North face Hiking boots, since the jungle boots where painful for Adam Baldwin's feet, but the cuffs remained.

Four Leaf Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Didn't Adam Baldwin play Animal Mother in Full Metal Jacket ? Wonder if the boots bothered him then Link to post Share on other sites
ninja master of coffee Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 He didn't wear jungle boots in Full Metal Jacket, ordinary leather military boots. Also people's feet spread with age so it's entirely possible his feet are wider now than they were then. Plus I'd imagine they had a wider variety of military boots during the filming of Full Metal Jacket then they did for Firefly. Also, another vote for the riding boots, they make me think "Firefly" the other boots make me think "that is a very odd combination of clothes and foot ware". Link to post Share on other sites
bobthebuilder Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 I never got my captain- ish kit to a point where I felt it worked both as a look, and as something I could play in. but yesterday I did run this: next step is to find a cheap blue sun T:shirt our similar.
