brown coat

Earth-toned garment

A brown coat is simply a coat that is brown.

The term gained cultural significance from the television series *Firefly*, where Browncoats were rebel soldiers who fought against a central government—now used by fans to identify themselves: I've been a Browncoat since the show first aired.
