How to make Captain Malcolm Reynolds Costume
| # | Item | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Long Sleeve Buttoned Shirt | Don’t focus on a slim fit type, a regular fit is better for the look. The color that you should be looking for is brown. |
| 2 | Full Length Single-Breasted Topcoat | You should be looking for a simplest design because there’s nothing fancy about Mal’s coat. However, you should keep in mind that the coat’s color must be similar to the shirt |
| 3 | Brown Suspenders | Any regular suspenders will work for this, but only if they’re in a shade of brown |
| 4 | Dark Brown Leather Gloves | Mal’s leather gloves are in dark brown color, so you should seek the ones with a similar tone |
| 5 | Tan High-Waisted Trousers | A pair of tan high-waisted pants are perfect, but if you can’t find them then regular pants would work as well |
| 6 | Brown Belt and Gun Holster | This is actually a replica from the show so you mustn’t look further |
| 7 | Simple Brown Boots | Mal’s boots are simple and plain, you only need to find the right length and color |
| 8 | Brown Prop Pistol | Look for a brown and retro costume pistol to complete the look |
