I got mine at a thrift store for $20. Best $20 I ever spent.

Check Ebay, they've always got some decent prospects. I recently picked up a brown leather bomber jacket for $28.

Whenever somebody tells me my coat is sort of a brownish colour, I'm able to tell them with all truthsomeness: "It was on sale."

I got mine for one-third the regular price at a coat/leather store (mine is oilskin rather than suede, but it helped me win a costume contest ). Mind you, it was still a little pricey - it was $100, but this was in one of those suburban tourist traps swamped with money. You might try your luck; there can't be many places in the 'verse that are more expensive all around, so if you hit up the coat sales and/or thrift stores you might find something that fits the bill.

I got mine at a thrifty store... and it's suede... and brown... and my pride and joy... only second (just recently) to my oddly multicolored scarf.

DON'T STARE AT ME LIKE THAT! *huddles in corner, hugging scarf*

May not be smart, and it may not please you, but you're definitely gonna see what I have to say.

Hello to the 'verse!!

I'd like to officially join up
I'd heard ya'll hand out vertual browncoats to the newbies and I'm bringing reinforcements (a hubby , my father, and an honorary bcoat for my 4-year-old who can sing the theme song almost perfectly).

I'm addicted..... I've made stickers for my car that say
Good guys don't always wear white ... sometimes they wear brown
Wash is my co-pilot
Get off my aft or I'll call out the reavers

I've bought the box set, the movie, and the role-player book for my hubby with plans to buy me an actual browncoat and have hubby's grandma knit a Jayne hat....
This is my first real post and I'm not too keen with all this shiny 'puter technology so if I screw up pay no mind.....

p.s. I test out as our Captain and my hubby tests out as River on the personality tests.. go figure!

Well a great big hello and howdy, Iremist!
Someone will be along shortly to fit you for a coat and show you to the buffet. Not sure where the pub got to.
Happy New Year to a new browncoat1

Value Village usually has some quality dusters for discounted prices. Might be a mite difficult to find 'em in brown, but when has that ever stopped anyone? If you want it to look exact though, you're gonna have to shell out some credits to someone handy with a needle, just to warn you.

Best a' luck on your quest! Let us know how it turns out!

What terms is it that ya'll are using to do a search on Ebay for it? A quick search using "brown coat" came up with almost 800 results and that's a bit much to search through for me.
