And yet once more in need of one. Does anyone know of a manufacturer that produces them, prices and the like? I've seen a few of these threads in the archive area. Yet I'm afraid those were somewhat outdated.
Or - I'm being stupid, which could also be the case. *g*

The bestest Browncoat out there, by far, is the one produced by abbyshot.com - And as it is awesome, it don't come cheap.
Sorry, I can't link it - just head over there and you'll see.
Occasionally, people sell their Abbyshot coats on ebay. There was a thread just a week or so ago announcing such a sale.
Good Luck!

Yepp, I saw another link on ebay. It's obviously still on sale. I think I do remember sales of the guy who actually made the coats for the movie/series though. So - is that still an option?
And thanks for the fast reply. ;)

The coats used/worn in the series were made by Johnathon A. Logan, whose website is http://www.jonathanalogan.com/
So for a coat that looks like this: 
you'll be paying top dollar, with good reason, the materials ain't cheap.
The Abbyshot ones are also really good.

Why do you reckon they would do such a thing?

Cashy money, I s'pose. Hard times for Browncoats?
Heck, I wondered why Shawna would sell all those amazing costumes she had...and she was very clear. Those costumes, while precious, would put her child through college.
I think that's where Hell's Kitten got Nandi's dress from - one of Shawna's auctions.

I know a guy who has an Abbyshot 'coat for sale (he just got a Jonathan Logan one). I can send him your info if you like to get y'all in touch with one another.

Thanks for the offer Jimi. I just can't afford it now, I'm afraid (but when I can, I'll go a-running, for sure!). I was just wondering if maybe the Abbyshot coats were flawed or subpar in some way. Can't figure why anyone would want to part with a browncoat, once they got their mitts on one. But as Mav pointed out, there are some things that just take the priority, I s'pose.

The offer was actually for the thread's author, but I would have hooked you up too Causal, if you were in the market for one.
There are some differences in the Abbyshot coats and the ones made by the guy who made them for the series, for sure. I have heard mixed reviews on the Abbyshot ones, but from what I have seen the coats look damn good.
I have my 76th Browncoat, which is the lighter brown, but I am also have a dark brown "Mal-style" coat made too, as I plan to attempt a Monty costume at some point.
