It seems that the costume designer owns THE browncoat from Firefly, and she's auctioning it off. Over on the Universal board, we've got a very serious discussion going on about pooling our resources to buy it for Nathan as a birthday present.

Now I know every browncoat out there wants this for his/her self (I know I sure do! No money though:). But there's one guy it belongs with and who completely deserves to have it. Let's get our Cap'n his browncoat!

Details are still being worked out right now; I suggest paying the thread a visit so we don't ask the same questions in too many different places.

Would love to buy the Browncoat and give it to Nathan personally. Alas, not a chance in the 'verse of that happening.

Ahhh, pessimism. How refreshing. What a change of pace on this board.

none of my business or anything, but are you sure that Nathan would want it? don't get me wrong, I'm sure he'd appreciate the gesture. not to mention that it's obviously his size. but would he like to keep it? it he really gonna wear it around the house? I don't remember him ever metioning how great his brown coat was.

again, none of my business. but just think about it. it's a hell of a lot of money too.

At the Serenity convention this week one of the questions at the Q&A was would the cast dress up and come in character. That got a very uncomfortable response. Morena said "I'd have to say 'no'". Nathan said something like "Come on, we come here as us, just so you can meet the actors, learn about the show" (or something to that effect). Basically they thought it was an odd request. So he might think it's a bit weird getting the coat. Now a giant birthday card signed by everyone of us would probably get a far better response. Or we could all save up and commision season 2 :-D

Also if he REALLY wanted it then I'm sure he could have had it when the series ended, I mean the show was cancelled mid season so they knew that they would probably never have need of it again.

I have a couple of ex film costumes and know people that have others. With a few exceptions there is no work done to them that doesnt appear onscreen. I have a uniform jacket worn by the principle actress in a Hollywood war movie and it has no lining because the only scene where she wears it is supposedly winter so she has it closed. The summer uniform jacket for the same actress in the same movie HAS a lining because at one point she has to take it off.

Up close and personal props and costumes are often disappointing because onscreen you never get a closeup view and if you do it's only for a second.

If he really wanted it, wouldnt he have kept it? Not that this isnt a good or bad idea, but that thought occurred to me.

Edit: Oh wait, fletch just said that..

As nice a gesture as it is, I'm more on board with M4TT's card idea... or something to the effect. If he wanted the coat he coulda kept it. Considering it's the gesture that really counts, some kind of massive card from the Browncoats would be a whole lot easier to pull off, and just as well if not better accepted.

I'm not sure he would have been given the option to keep it...isn't a pretty tight rein kept on that sort of thing?

Yeah usually even main actors aren't allowed to take stuff off the set, even from cancelled shows. I think it was Elizabeth Harnois who said that she got a call after Point Pleasant ending saying 'we know you've got the shoes can you please give them back'.
However I don't know how Shawna Trpcic got to keep the coat in that case, maybe it was less strict on Firefly.
