PEDRO PASCAL APPRECIATION WEEK: DAY ONE

↳ Pedro Pascal as DIN DJARIN in The Mandalorian

[aliitbanehollow]

You honored me

You saved my life

You loved me better than anyone ever has

I’ll repay those debts

I’ll carry your memory with me on every hunt I take

Until the day I die.

Mandalorian Gear, a basic guide

Mandalorian gear comes in quite a few variations, and it can vary based on things like era, clan, status and taste of the wearer. There are, however, some basics that can be helpful to understand how it all fits together. Let’s start with the soft parts, part 1:

Flightsuit

A normally one piece suit that goes over underwear and stuff like thermals, and the like. We do see characters in partial ones, like Sabine Wren, however considering she was a teenager on the run & that she later acquired one would perhaps indicate that it was not a choice but rather out of necessity.

There are several variations of flightsuits, but the basic types we see are the classic Boba Fett based type with extra sleeves & a type that is more like the stormtrooper/clone trooper undersuits/blacks and equally tightly fitted.

Bo-Katan for example wears the first type in live action, but the second type in animation. (Also of note is that the blacks type has so far only been worn by female characters. Gee, I wonder why.)

Materials

Fabrics, like a cotton twill or denim for the Boba Fett style suit. Softshell, strechy fabrics & thicker athletic wear like for the blacks type suit.

Visual References

Here’s concept art of Sabine Wren in the two main types, blacks type to the left and in the middle with a flak vest. Boba Fett style to the right with a flak vest:

Boba Fett (OT):

Flak Vest

Flak vests come in a myriad of variations. Normally made out of a tough material that you use to attach you chest, back & neck pieces too. Sometimes the shoulder pieces as well, depending on the type. In The Mandalorian most mandos seem to favor variations of the sleeveless vest type.

Materials

Heavy duty fabrics, quilted fabrics, canvas, leather, rubberised cloth, etc.

Boba Fett in his OT flak vest (sandy color vest type with flaps to attach shoulder armor to) & Boba Fett in his new flak vest (black with pleated shoulders that stick out over his armor, shoulder armor attached to sleeves that on close inspection appears to be pleated as well and attached to the flak vest, so far this style is unique to him):

Jango Fett, wearing a leather or rubbery looking flak vest with attached flaps for shoulder armor & a blue Fett style flightsuit:

(Interestingly during the empire era several female mandos switch to a style with no flak vest, notably Clan Wren, while Bo-Katan favors what looks like black leather like material in a t-shirt shape that might simply be a part of her flightsuit, but concept art implies it’s a separate piece. This might simply be because of the sleek look of Rebels animation)

Boots

Round or square toed. Work boots, manchester ankle boots, tall boots. Chunky soles, often covered with spats and/or armor.

Materials

Leather or leatherlike, spats material can vary.

Visual References

From left to right, from the top: Din Djarin (altered light brown manchester boots with brown spats), Boba Fett OT (manchester boots with spikes, worn greyish black), Fenn Rau (black with blue spats), Sabine Ren (tall black boots with slight chunky heel), Bo-Katan Kryze TCW (ankle high black combat boots, chunky sole), Ursa Wren (brown, grey spats)

Koska Reeves and Axe Woves, both are wearing dark brown ankle boots covered in spats made of a leather like material.

Gloves

Combat gloves, leather gloves, fingerless gloves. Usually with a handplate. At least long enough to hide edge under the bracers.

Part 2, armor. Coming…. whenever I have the time.

@systlin I just had the GREATEST GAME IDEA EVER

It is a beautiful day in your part of the galaxy, and you are but a teenage Mando'ade who’s snuck out to cause chaos

[aliitbanehollow]

I also want to point out that Mando’a is like, not gendered. At all.

The word for mother? Buir.

The word for father? Buir. Literally translates simply to ‘parent’

Same for ‘child’. Ad. Means simply ‘child’. No gender attached.

Same for ‘spouse’. No gendered term, simply ‘riduur’. Literally means ‘spouse’

On the other hand, there are like six different words for spicy food and like forty insults and eight different terms for gunfire.

Apologies if someone's shared this already but these shared on a discord server I'm a member of and I am DEAD.

What are you?  “A Mandalorian.” I mean are you a boy or a girl? “I’m a warrior with a bloodline that spans generations.” No, what’s in your pants? “Beskar.“

Between Jango Fett demanding a son as payment for being cloned and the mandalorian immediately adopting baby yoda I’ve come to a conclusion

More headcanon:

Mandalorian clan names aren’t passed down patrilineally.  When partners of inequal rank are married, they usually take the clan name of the higher-ranking partner.  When the partners are of equal rank, there are multiple ways the decision of whose clan name to take can be made.  Some make the decision based on the size or age of their respective clans, some via combat, and some simply decide which name they like better.  

Additionally, it isn’t seen as leaving the birth clan for a member to be married - they still belong to their clan, and they can still pass down their clan name if they choose to.  It also isn’t unheard-of for someone to take up the clan name of their grandparents, or great-grandparents, or further back, for any reason.  They’re Mando’ade no matter what they choose.
