I have one for sale if you are interested.

I don't know if it's in your price range but it's there if you want to check it out. I'm just a girl trying to make it in the verse so it's not official merchandise.

Thanks,

If you tell the salesperson at your stores that you want a duster, they'll probably know what you mean.

Obviously, a real leather duster will be very expensive, but you might find a similar style coat in canvas or other fabric.

Ain't about you, Jayne. It's about what they need.

I wouldn't really call Mal's coat a "duster." (not that I DO know what to call it... a "longcoat" maybe?) A duster is longer, almost ankle length. (Spike's leather coat in Buffy is a duster.)
