Oh, yeah. You're gonna fit right in!

"Browncoats"--that's what the Independent faction soldiers were called during the war for unification. Mentioned in "The Train Job": "Six years ago today the Alliance sent the Browncoats runnin', pissin' their pants." So-called because of the brown uniform coats they're issued (ref Mal's and Zoe's costumes.

Obsessive fans have taken to referring to one another as Browncoats (see http://browncoats.serenitymovie.com/serenity/?u=Haken).

Oh, yeah. Definitely gonna feel right to home 'round here! Next we'll get you using western-y speak (e.g. "right to home") and using words like "gorram" and "shiny" and cursing in Chinese...

MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!

well, i think half the beauty of the title is that they weren't issued. everybody just sort of had one . . .

And, as someone noted around here: Mal's usual coat actually isn't the one he wears in flashbacks.

He probably did get it on sale.
