This isn't exactly Mal's coat, but it's pretty close, and for around $150:

Does anyone know what the legality would be of having someone set up to product Mal's ACTUAL coat, and sell it? Who would have the copyright on that, Mutant Enemy or the Hated Fox Network?

I too kinda wish I had Mal's coat. I mean, I do have a brown coat, and I'm quite fond of it, but it's not quite as shiny as Mal's.

Then again, I probably couldn't pull off wearing that coat without looking dumb.

And anyway, first thing's first, I need to get me a Blue Sun t-shirt when I get some extra cash. :)

Well, my coat came via FedEx a week ago. I ordered this one:

In the walnut colour. I gotta say, the colours are BANG ON! The material isnt what I excepted... more like a jeans-type, with the cuffs being courdurouy. But I love it :) I'm getting it altered soon so that its around the dimensions of mal's coat.

That is the one that I bought. The color is close enough to not really concern oneself over. The length is a about 6-8 inches longer than Mal's coat, but you can always have it altered which is what I plan to do. The material is canvas (which is historically accurate for the period) but it is durable. I am very happy w/ mine.

If someone ever did produce one exactly like Mal's I would buy it.

this is a pretty clear picture of Mal's coat, it looks pretty thin.

I keep looking at this coat, but I just can't make myself like it. It just doesn't look enough like Mal's coat to me.

Probably one of the reasons I don't like this particular coat. I definitely want to find one that has the same texture and look to it. I've got to put my shiny new patches somewhere!!

I am so with you on that one!! I would have to have it altered too since I'm a on the short side. Had the same problem when I went in search of Spike's duster and had to settle for a short leather coat. But oh well, I'm not gonna settle on this one. Gotta have the suede/leather look and wonderful brown color.

Same boat here. Fortunately the "short" billowy coat hangs just past my knees. I've had someone tell me I look like Angel though, so if a plan's gonna backfire, at least it's going in the right direction.

Does anyone know where Zoe's coat is from, in some ways it looks quite modern, and I bet it was adjusted to fit Gina properly, but it doesn't look the same sort of thing to me as Mal's

I'd even settle for the one that tom cruse was wearing for The Last Samurai it doesn't look exactally like it, but it does give out the same feel...

wait... tom cruse is also a browncoat??!
