I'm lookin to buy a coat like Mal's, but I don't know the specific details of it, ya know, what to do a search for online. Any help would be great.

Like what type of material it is (leather, right? but what type?)

The style of it?

Etc.

Thanks.

These people make a replica:
http://www.abbyshot.com/products/ps-firefly-browncoat.php

HOWEVER.... I recently saw a website that claims to
sell the original design by the original designer of Mal's coat. In buckskin, sheep and cowhide (take your pick) no less. They looked better than Abbyshots' IMO.

Sorry, but I'll be damned if I can find the site at the moment.
Somebody helps us!!!!!!!!!!!

But I swear by my pretty floral bonnet I saw a website that was ready for sales.....and it was Logans. Hmmmm.

Oh, I guess this was it:

Weird how I thought Logans' looked better -there're no pics! Brains sure are funny things. Time to rest mine.
