This is where I got mine:

I got mine in the walnut (dark brown) color. It is very close to Mal's.

Another good place to look is Half moon leathers.
Just do a websearch on Half moon leathers and you should get their website first shot.
They do great work.
They do custom work.
They do leather and wool.
I am betting they can turn out alot of browncoats, And maybe a few companion outfits besides.

Huh, so a Western Store, eh? I've got one just a few miles down the road. Makes sense, seeings as how it's a western in space type-thing. Thanks for the learnin

IMHO, his coat looked a lot more like a 3/4-length brown wool coat, not leather. That could just be me, though...
They can have my "Firefly" DVDs when they pry them from my cold, dead fingers....
Oh yeah,

It's definitely leather... looks like the suede side is out, because if you look at the cuffs at the arms, they're a shinier leather on the inside of the cuff.
The real trick is those two clasps at the front. I can't seem to find them anywhere. It actually looks more like a 'pirate' type coat than a western one, considering the clasps and the way the sleeves are cuffed.

I have not been able to find the clasps either. I have looked at dozens of different types online, but have found nothing close yet.

Ok, I did the intelligent thing for a change and looked at Mal's picture on the DVD case...

Yep, looks like suede to me too. That coat would totally kick ass to own for yourself
