It might help to know that on the auction website it says:

"Note: Nathan's birthday is coming up in March, and you know this fits him. I'm just sayin'."

So Shauna trpcic obviously thinks it's a good idea.

Well you can't just walk off with things that's true but I would be very surprised if they would have said no had he asked. A lot of day to day clothes are rented from costume houses and will need to be returned, that could explain the call for the shoes.

Signiture outfits, recognisable costumes etc usually belong to the wardrobe department of the production company -- because if it's destinctive they will have had to have had 2 or 3 made (plus some for stunts.) That's probably how this girl got the coat but the fact remains that if they gave it to her, they could have given it to Nathan had he wanted it.

Mind you, there's a big difference between buying the 'coat for him to wear it and buying it for him to keep it.

and don't I recall something about Alan taking the big red button as a souvenir when the show was cancelled and havin to bring it back for the movie... (am I remembering that accurately?)

So I would imagine that the show has sentimental value to the actors, at some level, even if they would NOT stroll around in the clothing.. which I imagine they would not..

so THE actual browncoat from the show might be of sentimental value to Nathan especially if it came from the fans.. I doubt he would EVER wear it.. but having it might be memorable..

the other dilemma to me is.. for those of more limited funds.. would the money be better spent on this or toward another movie/season.. I do not have the answer. just the question.

I think getting the coat would from the fans would be very touching to NF. I think Universal will make Serenity 2 without our money..though I would definitely put money up for it in a heartbeat.

My two cents.. keep the change.

Point #1 Nathan now has a lot of money and I for one have almost none. If it's being sold at auction and if he wants it he can buy it himself. On one hand yes the coat is unique, on the other it's only money and I need to pay my rent.

#2 If I were him I would appreciate it a lot more if some one were to make me a coat by hand themslves for me than if somebody were to spend a lot of money on me. It would really freak me out how some stranger I never met got my measurements though.

#3 For those of you who say if he had wanted it he could have taken it with him, I beg to differ. Props are called props because they are the "Property of the production", wardrobe falls under that same clause. If 'Versal or Fox paid for it then it is theirs. In this case it belongs to the costume designer. It doesn't belong to Nathan just because it fits him. Can you say "theft" boys and girls? I knew you could.

Wasn't suggesting he would steal it. I'm suggesting that if he made clear he'd like it they would doubtless give it to him at the wrap party. One actor I knew of was given his character's watch when production ended because the producers knew he liked it. I know of at least two others who got to keep suits made for them because they asked if they could keep them. No they don't get to walk off with stuff and I suppose it's just possible that for some reason he may have wanted it and the producers couldn't or wouldn't give it to him. Still I'd be very surprised if a prop coat, probably around $300 of materials and not really usefull outside the show, would have been something they would have said no to had he asked.

The producers of Knight Rider gave Hasselhoff a "KITT" for God sake....

Actually, Alan took the button and SENT it to Joss as a gesture, saying "For when your miracle gets here." or somesuch.

But it's also true that they let Alan keep his Red Flightsuit. I have a feeling they'd let Nathan hold on to the jacket if he wanted to. And while I'm SURE Nathan would LOVE this as a gift, we run the risk of NOT getting it, and I don't like the idea of a LOT of money going to a replica or being in someone elses hands. Don't mean to be a pessimistic killjoy, but that's how I feel.
