I had one of those messenger bags once. Picked it up at a thrift store.
I wonder what happened to it? I don't remember getting rid of it. Hmmmm.....

Morning, all!
I'm supposed to be cooking, so I'll make this kinda quick.
Several things....
In talking to FFG last night, and doing some more researching, we are pretty sure the guns used are designated CA36. This was determined because of the height of the sight rail vs. that on the G36C. However, the CA36 airsoft guns on eBay are in the neighborhood of $330-$350...and the G36C's are significantly cheaper. I, myself, am going to get a few of the G36C's...they have the same look. I know this is not 100% accurate, but I do believe it will still look good. 
I also screen capped a few shots from the deleted scene from the pilot. In viewing those, and the other "flashback" scenes, it appears there are two types of "uniform" worn by the Independents...I'll call them Type A and Type B.
Type A is the basic pants, shirt, etc. with the red vest worn under a long-sleeved coat. There is one shot that shows the mail sleeves under this type of uniform:
It does not appear that everyone wearing the long brown coats have the mail sleeves. Mal, for example, just appears to be wearing his coat over a shirt and the vest:
Type B is similar to Type A...shirt pants, etc. but the vest is worn over the mail, and there is either a simple smock-type "coat" or none at all. Zoe wears this type, as does Tracy in The Message
(This is also a better shot of the mail sleeves)
So, that's what I have found. Anyone have comments, addendums, anything? I do think it would be neat to have the two types intermingled. I am planning on the Type A...I'm actually going to try to recreate something very close to Mal's, complete with the arm braid.
Please let me know what y'all think!
RIMG, I know that a six-pack will easily fit into that bag, along with one or two of those plastic ice packs.
Ok, now I have to get back to cooking. See you all after!
I do want to thank everyone for the overwhelming response to this. I was hoping to get two or three people interested in this...and look, we're creating an Army! Whoo-hoo!

That's what I get for lending out Firefly Disc 1, now when I need to watch the pilot, I can't. Gorram it!
Happy Thanksgiving to Browncoat friends and family!
I'm think' the Independents will be rising again at D*C 2007!
I aim to misbehave!

Tristan,
Keep me posted on the trench and vest. Inexpensive is good.
I will let you know about the G36s. They had them at two local shops. I am going to look them up tomorrow to see if either is on sale. I'll keep you posted.

I may be talking out of turn but I don't think a banner is necessary, the past 2 years we've walked under the Seeb-Kah banner (um, that's SEBC Southeast Browncoats) and I don't think 2 banners would be allowed. Unless the Brigade walked separate, which I would be against since I think all the Browncoats should be together.
