Browncoats


Browncoats is a common term for costumers who dress in the style of the Browncoat "Independent Faction" freedom fighters in the TV series Firefly. The term is also often applied to Firefly fans in general regardless of whether costuming enters into it.

 

Browncoats are generally easy to spot around DragonCon as they tend to wear brown... coats. The costume has a general appearance of 1880s "Old West" clothing, but partnered with advanced weaponry. Non-costumed browncoats will often be spotted weeping over the cancellation in 2003 of a TV show with a tremendous about of potential and some of the best small-screen Scifi writing of all time.
