A Jango Fett costume MUST have:

Helmet

A full one piece "T" visor.
The "outer mandibles / headband", ear pieces, and rangefinder should be a medium blue colour.
The "inner mandibles" just above the silver cheeks should be a darker blue colour.
Two 1/8 inch parallel stripes run around the silver dome just above the blue band and stop on either side of the right earpiece attachment. Auto pinstriping works best.
The keyhole slots in the rear of helmet must be cut out clean and backed with mesh underneath.

Jumpsuit

A neckseal to be worn over the collar to cover the neck area under the helmet.

Boots

Black leather with the sole pattern to match as closely as possible to the movie costume. The most identifiable features include a high arch pattern on the inside of the sole, four profile "swoops" between the sole and leather upper which must be silver in colour.

Vest

Must be grayish leather or similar material and colour. Refer to the Star Wars Attack of the Clones Visual Dictionary for reference. Reference CD also indicates light blueish tones for weathering. Black is not an accurate colour representation of a movie accurate costume. A blueish vest is acceptable as some movie scenes depict the vest as such in certain lighting.

Journeyman Protector Belt

Leather or similar materials and brown in colour.
1/4 inch braided sections approximately 5 inches wide, depending on height of person. Typically 20 to 22 rows of braids constitute the average size girth belt.
Belt attaches in rear.
A vertical brown leather loop approximately three inches wide covers the rear overlapping belt seam.

Ammo Pouch Belt

Leather or similar materials, brown in colour and approximately 2.5 inches wide. The end of the belt is tapered and overlaps the other end in rear.
Seven equally sized pouches approximately 2.5 inches wide and 4.5 inches tall are attached to belt by loops.
A separate vertical loop approximately 3/4 inches wide fits over the belt to the wearer's left against the left most pouch.
Attaches at the rear over the braided belt and the vertical leather loop.

Holsters

Leather or similar materials and brown in colour.
Straps are approximately 1 inch wide and fastened underneath the rear of girth belt and through an angled loop on front, which sits on the codpiece armour via two brass D-rings and a leather strip, which inserts into the armour loop. Straps are adjustable with 1/4 inch brass ball studs. Six studs in total are used. Two for rear straps, two for front straps and two more for leg straps.

Armour

Generally the armour is made from materials such as fibreglass or sintra, though other materials have been used, especially with the gauntlets, which have also been made from styrene. The armour should have dimension and give the feeling of thickness and depth. This is harder to accomplish with sintra, which is why fibreglass has become more popular among Jango Fett costumers. All armour should be silver in colour and weathered where indicated in visual references to give the illusion of battle wear and damage. Silver Rub-n-Buff is a wax based material and is the most popular method for giving the armour it's metallic appearance. It can be found in most craft stores.

Vest Armour

Shoulder armour pieces must have eight points.
Left chest armour must have two indented horizontal bars, the lower one to be wider and positioned as shown in visual references.
Centre diamond plate between chest plates must have an indented vertical rectangle.
Back plate must have two shoulder slots to allow the jetpack harness to fasten to torso underneath.

Leg Armour

Codpiece must be dimensional and curve under groin area as shown in visual references. There is no band that connects the underside of codpiece to the rear of belt.
Thigh armour must be curved to fit snugly over thighs.
Knee armour must be dimensional and sturdy. Inner section must have the upside down "F" pattern. Outside section must have the rocket dart assembly with two rocket darts as shown in visual references.
Shin armour must fit snugly over shin and sit just above the boot armour and not fall loosely over the boot.
Boot armour must have a good curvature and square off at ankles where an attached elastic band is fitted with a small black leather square with a snap to attach to boot heels on both sides

Right gauntlet

Two toggle switches on upper inside section, four forward facing darts in front of middle section, two small slightly protruding darts in front of lower section over wrist opening, larger grappling dart with two "blades" protruding from side housing, which also has two hose connecters at rear of housing. Upper section also should have one tapering section for a third hose connector as shown in visual reference.
Four square pattern indentations on lower gauntlet section as shown in visual reference.
All three hoses must be tucked under short sleeve and attached underneath securely.

Left gauntlet

Small projectile, which should have black and silver parallel bands in an alternating pattern. The rear cylinder should be black in colour and the front tapered section should be gold with a black point as shown in the visual references. The tip of the black point should be gold in colour as shown.
A small silver switch on the inside of the section holding the projectile and the end should be black in colour.
A working red LED light behind this switch.
Two black buttons sitting on top of the flamethrower assembly on the outside of the gauntlet, which also houses two ports that protrude from the front, one over the other.
On the rear of this box assembly directly behind each port are two hose connectors. Both hoses must be tucked underneath the short sleeve securely.
Three square pattern indentations on the lower gauntlet section as show in visual references.
Both hoses must be blue in colour and weathered.

Jetpack

There are two different Jetpacks to choose from: Primary and Secondary. The secondary was used after Jango lost his primary in a fight against Obi-Wan Kenobi on Kamino. The Secondary, more commonly known as the Arena Jetpack, was used on Geonosis.

Two thrusters / nozzles mounted under the fuel tanks.

Gloves

Must be navy blue in colour and of a thin, soft leather or similar material and worn tucked underneath the gauntlets.

Blasters

2 Westar-34 blasters. These have a complex design for a do-it-yourselfer, but can be purchased from dealers such as Master Replicas, if available or online as Rubies toys and painted to match the ones in the film. There are resin props available but they are hard to find.

A Jango Fett costume SHOULD have:

Helmet

Both blues should match the visual references as closely as possible in similar lighting.
The helmet should be weathered to match visual references as closely as possible.
The silver cheeks should be rounded at the top unlike the more tapered cheeks of Boba Fett.

Jumpsuit

The Red Kapp brand postal blue is ideal and gives off the famous light purple tinge
Button holes on either side of knees and shins to insert elastic bands for a tighter fit.
A neckseal to be worn over the collar to cover the neck area under the helmet.

Boots

Kenneth Cole Pit Crew boots. No longer manufactured. Very hard to come by.
Snaps on both side of heel upper to accept the boot armour.

Vest

Shoulders should not flare outwards and look like wings.
Piping on the seam of neck, arm and shoulder openings.

Holsters

The shape of the holster should match the general shape of the blasters. The opening at the top is angled and slightly flared. The bottoms are tapered so that the blasters fit snugly.

Right gauntlet

Should be hinged on the inside of the forearm and close on the outside with velcro or similar attachment.

Jetpack

Both styles of jetpack should attach snugly against the backplate to a harness via two shoulder slots located on the upper section of the backplate. A simple backpack harness can be made with backpack strapping and backpack clips to fit under the vest.

A Jango Fett costume MAY have:

Jumpsuit

A tighter fit at the shins/ankles to allow a snug fit of the shin armour without drooping over the boot.

Vest

Velcro or snaps to attach vest armour.

Journeyman Protector Belt

Heavy duty velcro or lacing is recommended for durability.

Leg Armour

It is highly recommended to attach knee and shin armour to legs via velcroed elastic bands inserted through small button holes to wrap around legs underneath for a secured fit.
