Fashions this year, or, rather, 500 years from now, are/will be trending toward wild colors to catch a doctor’s eye while helping hide the grease.
Just check out this one, available now at The Prop Store of London. Perfect for dancing the night away at the Maidenhead Bar or shopping for more batteries for those special nights, this multicolored number comes mounted in a framed display with a laser-cut movie logo and a film still.
It’s a cool collector’s item, but be aware that this is not the original jacket Jewel Staite is wearing in the photo that comes the frame.
In fact, the framed jacket above does not appear anywhere in the movie.
This can be confirmed by referencing the above jacket with any of the scenes where Kaylee is wearing her version in the DVD, and examining them closely. This includes the scene photo above.
I have already confirmed this and asked The Prop Store for an explanation. They stated that many props and costumes used in movies have multiple copies made for different reasons.
All they can guarantee is that all of the items sold from their store were used in the (production) of the movie Serenity.
Which basically is saying that they may or may not have been screen used. They were just present and on hand in production if needed for the film.
So to all collector’s out there, just because there’s a scene photo accompanying a certain prop or custume, or they’re listed as being used in production of a movie, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the actual one used or worn on screen by the actor, or used in the movie at all.
