Got mine three years ago. It was a gift from my wife & it was the shinyest thing I ever received. I wear it every time I get the chance. If the weather is 60 degrees or cooler I am wearing that coat.

Makes for great advertising too.

I have one of these:

Which I've had before Firefly.

I guess I was a browncoat before the term was coined.

Hello. DashboardDino here. I've got a brown leather coat I've had for years, since before I saw Firefly/Serenity. It's not a duster, and it needs some patching up. But it's about the same rusty color as Mal's, and I feel right at home around earth-that-was tones. I'd love to have a duster. It would be intensely shiny if we started just showing up in them, going about our daily business.

I'm new here, by the way. Nice to meet everyone.

Welcome, Dino. I know, I always feel good when I'm wearing mine, even if nobody else understands. I feel safe, like maybe if Reavers threatened, a Big Damn Hero might answer my distress call.

Thanks for the welcome, Grizwald. I have to ask you...how in the world do you get that little quote up there under your name? It's been a little while since I joined a fan board.
