Anyone have any idea where to get a brown coat? I've looked in several department stores, leather shops and thrift stores with no luck. Ebay had some "official" ones, but havent seen them in a while.

try typing in "knee length duster" in google and look to see which one you want.

I believe thats the official name for that type of coat.

I have the blue Hawaiian Wash shirt. That in conjunction with jeans and I am shiny captin’. Wore the same thing out on opening day, but I don’t think anyone got it. Then again I’m *really* not in a big browncoat area.

Because I am an American. And what does an American want? Democracy? Capitalism. I want to sell out and settle down. For one day only, it's a blue light special on Aisle Three. My wormhole technology... and a free set of steak knives... for all the tea in China. And anything you can imagine to pay me... welcome to my cold war.

I'm dressing up as Kaylee (big surprise). I made a jumpsuit with all the little patches, and I'm trying to get my hands on a blue coat like the one she wears in the pilot.

Sadly, no. I'm going as Misato Katsuragi, a character from a completely different SF series (Neon Genesis Evangelion). If I had the time and/or cash, though, I'd maybe go as either River (I have dark hair that can get pretty stringy/clumpy if I don't comb it after washing, and I'm kinda on the tiny side), or a Completely Random Browncoat, seeing as I got a Browncoat bracelet now (but, I would want to find a brown coat like Mal's, and I honestly don't think I could find an inexpensive one on such short notice... we do have a lot of thrift stores here, but good god, the amount of digging I'd have to do... I can't get enough time away from school or work to do it, probably). ;)

Of course, I may do two different costumes for Halloween, seeing as I have to hand out candy for a special event on the 29th, but we do get a handful of trick-or-treaters in our area on Halloween night. Maybe if I find a brown coat of the right kind in time, I'll be a Browncoat on Halloween night... I bet nobody will get it, but it'd be fun anyway.

I love costumes, though.

As un-poor browncoaty this is going to sound, I found my own Mal-ish coat at, of all places, Banana Republic. The details of the coat aren't perfect, but the color is spot on and the material is a good match for suede even close-up. The price is a bit prohibitive (250), but its better than the 500 that AbbyShot is requesting and the coat itself is stylish enough to wear to un-Firefly outings (but who goes to those anymore?)

Well, I went as a Blue Hand last year (in a last minute, patched-together outfit, may I add), but I'm not so sure what I'll do this year. Perhaps Wash. His seems to be the easiest. And I'm not exactly rolling in the cashy money.
