All the military need their own jacket but not all the military need 3DM gear all the time which has lead me to conclude suede for jackets and leather for harnesses and skirts is a logical choice. Slightly simplified, but suede is made by splitting the layers of a hide you can therefore get more suede per hide than leather. As the military are considered important and get a bigger slice of resources, the skins of those cattle would likely have been reserved for making the harnesses and the skirts (the skirts create a seat during 3DM manoeuvering so these must be strong) of the 3DM gear. Because nothing can go to waste in a world of such limited resource, the skins of the butchered cattle would be put to good use. Suede is durable – it will provide some protection from the wearer from abrasion during combat.ĭue to limited grazing land for cattle, leather would likely have been scarce this is further evidenced because we know the survey corps are ‘special’ and permitted one meat meal a day for energy and muscle building. It is matte and thus light absorbent which is good for camouflage when galloping through woods and can be treated to become waterproof. The Attack on Titan world lacks modern amenities so it highlights the era with a rustic feel.
This is fantastic for meets as just because uniforms differ the unifying design still pulls the group together.įabric: Saying that however, my choice for the jacket fabric would be suede (faux suede).
We already known for instance that there is a great deal of variegation in the clothing each character wears underneath their jacket after all (a white hoody for Annie, A grey shirt and cravat for Levi, a yellow shirt for Hanji, a green/beige shirt for Eren). Resources are scarce and they use what they have and that may mean not everyone matches. Personally I think that variegated uniforms could well be a real issue in Attack on Titan. Please note these are my personal considerations and are by no means the only justifiable option I’ve just put together a costume breakdown on jackets for the group and it seemed a good opportunity to share my thought processes when I consider materials to use for a costume using Attack on Titan jackets as an example. (If you’re UK based and interested in potentially taking part you can join the group here: ) There’s a big Attack on Titan cosplay group brewing here in the UK.
