A unique look at Browncoats...
The below quote is from an unknown source on the Internet:
It's cool that costumers seem to be genuinely having a ball with the 'Independent' concept. Take a mix of period Wild West/American Civil War/Asiatic and Eastern styles and stir well with a hi-tech brush and you end up with all kinds of permutations and combos. Everything from Kaylee's Chinese jackets to Mal's space braces, Jayne's 'special' hat, and the Reaver rotters Madder Max cannibal chic...brilliant! And lot's more stuff in the new film to play with; notice that the Alliance squaddies no longer wear cast-off armour from the woeful Starship Troopers?
Anyway, I'm sure the Brownies would have a tremendous range of gear, being what seems to be a classic thrown together, under resourced, underdog military. There's also the effect that constant hard campaigning has on clothing....as dyes are weathered, field expedients are adopted to cope with local climatic conditions and tactical considerations.
I'm of the opinion (only applicable to myself, which is, after all, whom I'm costuming for) that the only thing that matters in making a Browncoat is that it be 'brown', which when you consider how many shades of brown there are allows quite a bit of room for interpretation.

And that folks, just about sums it up!!
