I've seen a lot of people talking about buying an actual browncoat but the replicas are so damn expensive. For some reason I received a catalog from this company that makes a lot of frontier style clothing. Can't speak to the quality because I've never purchased anything here but the price may be worth the risk. If anyone is interested here is their website:

Less expensive is good. What item were you looking at that said "browncoat" to you? I see a black leather duster, but it's not very close.

Thanks for posting!

Just do a search on "duster". The one on the top left of the page just screams "browncoat".

With some dark brown suedecloth or fake leather, one could add cuff turnbacks.

You know, even the pants at the bottom of the page are similar to Mal's. The suspenders, though are bit different but could be, in theory, modified appropriately to make a close approximation to his standard getup.

Sounds like a nice little project...

I think this is closer by far than the leather duster,

It's cotton, but the collar and cuffs are closer to an original Browncoat.

If I'm a bitch, then life just got interesting

The coat is fairly close. You would just need to take the hem up about a foot, since the browncoat was a 3/4 lenght coat, not full length.

As for the pants, the closest match out there are the frontier pants at Wild West mercantile. Shawna (aka, the costume designer) asked me where I got mine because they were just like the ones she used. You just need to add the piping on the sides.
