Uniform, Jacket and Gear - Attack on Titan
The Attack on Titan series has become a global phenomenon and extremely popular in the otaku and cosplay community. The series' iconic uniforms and clothing are a popular choice for cosplayers and merchandise that Attack on Titan fans love.
Attack on Titan Uniform
In the Attack on Titan series there are three branches of the military that are responsible for keeping the Titans at bay and protecting the citizens within the walls. They are: The Survey Corps None The Garrison Regiment , and The Military Police Brigade None
The Survey Corps is tasked with exploring areas outside the Walls to find more territory and locate endangered human civilizations outside the Walls. This branch is the most popular due to the main characters assigned to it.
The Survey Corps uniform consists of a white button-down collared shirt, a dark brown skirt, fitted white pants, knee-high boots the same color as the skirt, and a light brown high-waisted jacket with white and blue wings within a gray and white shield logo. The uniform also comes with a green cape with a hood that also encompasses the Survey Corps logo on the back. Soldiers in this branch have a maneuver equipment box that is attached to their waist with harnesses along the chest and legs.
Each character has a variation of their uniform to highlight their individuality and personality. For example, Mikasa Ackerman wears a scarf, Eren Yeager wears a key-shaped necklace, and Levi Ackerman wears a ruffled white tie.
The Garrison branch protects and patrols the citizens within the walls. The uniform is similar, with a white collared shirt, fitted white pants, a dark brown waist skirt for the maneuver box, dark brown knee-high boots, and a light brown high-waisted jacket. The logo is in the same place, on the back of the jacket and also on the back of the green hooded cape. However, the Garrison logo has a design of two red roses in a gray and white shield. Members of this branch include Orvud, Keitz Wilman, Rico Brzenska, and others.
The Military Police Brigade also wears the traditional white button-down shirt, fitted white pants, dark brown knee-high boots and a high-waisted skirt, a light brown high-waisted jacket, and a maneuver box. They also wear a green cape with a hood. The only difference is the logo. The Military Police Brigade's logo depicts a green horse's head, or rather a unicorn, with white hair and a white horn shaped like a sword blade. The horse's head faces left, surrounded by the traditional gray and white shield. Notable members are Hitch Dreyse and Dennis Eibringer.
Attack on Titan uniforms can be a popular cosplay choice. Uniform prices, depending on the full costumes or pieces, can range from $14.99 to $70 (shipping and taxes not included). Another aspect that affects the price is the quality. For high-quality full costumes, they usually start around $70.
Jacket
The light brown waist-length jacket is perhaps the most popular part of the uniform. It can be worn for non-cosplay activities and is considered a fashion statement.
Regardless of the military branch chosen, all jackets are long-sleeved and high-waisted. Depending on the brand that manufactured the jacket, it is usually 100% polyester. High-quality jackets are made from a combination of polyester, cotton, and microfiber. Both shoulders have belt loops on the upper shoulder areas. The left breast pocket should have the correct logo of its respective branch and a bare right breast pocket.
Jackets are usually sold separately due to their popularity and versatility. Therefore, if you purchase Attack on Titan uniform items separately, the jacket may be the most expensive item, with the exception of the Maneuver Equipment Box.
The cheapest quality jackets start at around $10.99 (shipping tax not included). High-quality jackets might start at around $39.99 (shipping tax not included).
Gear
The Vertical Maneuver Gearbox, also known as the 3DMG (Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gear) and Omni-Directional Mobility Gear, is a toolbox equipped with a wire propeller with plug-in blades, piston-powered grappling hooks, a gasoline-powered generator, and handles. The gearbox is estimated to weigh 10 kilograms (22 pounds). It was invented by a man named Angel Aaltonen 70 years before the Titans massacred and destroyed the Shinganshina district of Wall Maria, the hometown of Eren, Armin, and Mikasa. This is why the beginning of Season 1 began with the Titans infiltrating this wall.
Purchasing the equipment can be the most expensive and difficult to find. Online stores that sell cosplay costumes, such as anc, are the best options for quality products and a quick turnaround for your Attack on Titan cosplay. The Vertical Maneuver Equipment Box will most likely start at $80 (shipping tax not included). Some cosplayers (people who cosplay) take a different route by creating their own equipment box or commissioning a skilled freelance artist to create one for them at a negotiable price.
