The Last Word in Stylish Personal Restraints
It’s here: the first and only screen-accurate replica of Jayne Cobb’s
wrist strap – just like the first version of the wrist strap worn by actor Adam
Baldwin, who played the rogue mercenary in the TV series, Firefly.
Special Tips from Master Prop Artisan Karl Derrick
Right out of the box, your new Jayne Cobb Replica Leather Wrist Strap will seem a little stiff and unyielding -- but don't worry, it's supposed to be that way.
To make your sturdy leather strap buttery soft, hold the wrist strap with the inside facing you, fold it in half and roll it between the palms of your hands. The fold should move along the length of the strap as you rub your hands together.
What you're doing is bending the leather against itself. Rolling, twisting and bending will relax it. For a custom fit, try dipping the wrist strap in warm water and wearing until dry.
Your Jayne Cobb Replica Leather Wrist Strap will become supple but remain strong.

Constructed entirely from full grain, oak-tanned steerhide, the strap features
nickel-plated steel hardware and rivets that match those on the original
prop. Each strap is cut and finished and the hardware fitted by hand to ensure
the replica will stand up to a lifetime of rugged use, and is ideal as an essential
Jayne costume accessory or as a display piece in its own right.
The strap is more than 20 inches long and is based on the type of restraint
strap used to secure psychiatric patients and troublesome prisoners. The length
is necessary in order to wrap once around the wrist
before passing through the buckles. This ensures any stresses on the strap are taken on the leather and not the
buckles.
In honor of its design roots, the Jayne wrist strap is
presented in a custom printed linen bag, supplied by ”Blue Sun Restraint Solutions.”
This fine leather replica has been meticulously researched and re-created by Karl Derrick, the leading Firefly props expert working in the industry today.
