I understand, you really, really wanted one of AbbyShot's amazing Jayne hoodies but you're fiercely loyal to ThinkGeek and purchase for yourself only what xcan be found within its many, many pages.

Well, worry no longer! Now you can buy the Jayne hoodie at the very same place you get your LED toys and your rubber duck flash drives.

When you're on the edge of the 'verse, you need a comfy hoodie to keep you warm on your travels. Now we know that anyone who's a Jayne fan already has The Hat. So we picked up this cunning variation from a trader in one of the mining colonies. (Don't worry. We checked the shipment to be sure it was free from Bowden's Malady and also from the Alliance's imprint.)

This full-zip red sweatshirt features ribbed cuffs and bottom and a drawstring neck. The hood has the signature yellow and orange stripes in the appropriate spots and the pom-pom of Jayne's hat. The hoodie design doesn't really lend itself to earflaps, so they're represented by the red bottom stripe on the hood that bleeds down to fill the red body of the hoodie. The pockets on the front allow for smuggling of black market beagles (puppies, preferably). The left shoulder includes the design of of Jayne's dragon tattoo outlined in black, as if you've gone for your first sitting but haven't accrued enough credits to get it filled in yet.

Note: The pom-pom on the hoodie is attached with a safety pin; this is intentional. Some customers do not want to wear the pom-pom all the time. Also, when washing the hoodie we recommend that customers remove the pom-pom. Of course, customers can attach the pom-pom permanently if they so desire. We here at ThinkGeek recommend a small (but strong) magnet for semi-permanent installation.

Some of the sizes aren't in stock yet but they're coming soon. Think Geek! Some of us do little else.

Edited to add the link, now slinking away blushing…

Stop paying attention for a few days and look what happens… One of the choicest bits of Serenity Stuff ever goes on sale, and for a good cause, to boot. Or, more accurate, to hat.

The original, screen-used, Adam-Baldwin-wearing Jayne hat is up for auction thanks to the man himself and the California Browncoats.  Proceeds go toward the Marine Corp – Law Enforcement Foundation to "encourage the spiritual, moral, intellectual and physical development of children through education." This is a group that Adam has supported for some time now.

And your cash will go straight to 'em. Per the Cali Browncoats:

95% of the proceeds of this auction will go to MC-LEF.  The remaining 5% will go toward covering some of the eBay and Paypal fees.  The California Browncoats will pay any remaining fees in addition to donating their services in carrying out these auctions.  If there is any of the 5% left over after fees, we will donate it to MC-LEF.

So don't miss out on your chance to own possibly the most iconic prop in the whole damn 'verse. Plus you'll look incredibly cunning, guaranteed.

Jayne hoodies are here!

Or, rather, here, at AbbyShot. After putting the question to the Browncoats – that question being, do you want a hoodie that looks like Jayne's hat, the overwhelming answer was yes.

This high-quality fleece hoodie has the same colour pattern as the knit hat Ma Cobb made for her 'dear boy'. It's a unisex design that looks good on 'Jaynes' or 'Janes'! It even comes complete with a stylin' pom-pom on the hood. For an additional bit of shininess we've printed Jayne's dragon tattoo on the left shoulder of the sweater!

They run $69 and they're available in sizes from Extra Small to 2XL. No earflaps, but you do get ArtCat's Jayne tattoo on the shoulder.

I don't mind telling you, I love stuff like this. Original items that pay homage to versy things with creativity and style, while piquing the interest of newcomers and delighting any Browncoat who sees you and says "Wha…?"

Got the word from AbbySHot: the Browncoats have spoken, and Jayne hoodies will be made!

We received lots of great feedback that really proved that
this hoodie is something that many Browncoats want to wear
proudly.

We've got a shiny new blog post up answering all the
questions that were brought up. There's even some new
pictures of the prototype hoodie being worn on an outdoor
excursion – check 'em out right here.

Some news of note: the pom-pom will be standard issue, sizes will include XS and XXL, there will be no earflaps, the red will be deeper, ArtCat's Jayne tattoo patch will look utterly cool, and they're probably going to run about 70 bucks but discounts may be available.

Announced at the California Browncoats site: Adam Baldwin will be auctioning off the original Jayne hat to benefit the Marine Corps – Law Enforcement Foundation.

Fans of Firefly will recognize this hat as the one Jayne Cobb received from his Ma in the episode “The Message.”

The auction for THE Jayne Hat will start on September 24, 2008 and will run until October 4.  Keep an eye out for the auction through the CABC eBay page.

The MCLEF uses donated funds to provide assistance “to children of Marines or Federal law enforcement personnel who were killed on duty or died under extraordinary circumstances while serving our country at home or abroad. These funds enable us to provide these children with scholarships for their higher education.”

Good news! The seemingly tireless Maggie Burns stopped making Jayne hats but others have picked up the yarn and carried on, such as the good folks at this-land.net. Ready-made hand-made wooly ear warmers, just in time for cooler weather.

But they didn't stop there. There's also a Browncoat hat (green and yellow, with a star), an ice planet (non-edible, sorry) and plushie versions of our heroes (pictured). Only River and Kaylee (in jumpsuit and cake dress) pictured so far, but they advertise talking versions as well.

Want to look cunning but it's too hot to wear wool? No problem!

Effulgent Crafts is offering a felt Jayne Hat pin for your shirt, dress, bag, backpack, hat, or anyplace you feel needs sprucifying. $3, plus $1 shipping.
