If you check some of the behind the scenes footage, the left arm can be seen with what looks like a brown circle and not a sewn repair - just as if somebody wanted to remove something - if you wanted to repair a gunshot hole I`m sure there would be better ways to `fix` holes

p.s. wasn`t he shot in the right arm? I`ll have to re-check

Unless my memory is way off it was the left arm. Mal gets shot. Looks at the shot arm in disaproval and then raises his right arm with his pistol in hand and shoots the guy who shot him, in the leg.

Zol, the brown circle is the blood stain. The stain appears not only in the added scene of "Serenity" (when Dobson and the others board Serenity and Mal and Zoe are talking on the stairs - long before the shootout with Patience) but also in the "before" scenes in "Out of Gas" as Mal is showing Serenity to Zoe for the first time. I find myself looking for the stain in every scene Mal wears that coat!

My take on it was that it could have been where a `Browncoat Insignia or Company` cloth badge was during the war and Mal kept the coat afterwards but removed the insignia.


Or, it could have been his heart...
