Tom Hutchens is the founder & CEO of the Mandalorian Mercs Costume Club, and a professional armorsmith.
As well as running one of the world’s largest STAR WARS™ fan organizations, Tom is also an accomplished armorsmith and widely regarded as the master of “Mandalorian” style metal armor. Over the past decade, Tom has pioneered the art of combining time-honored armoring techniques with today’s technology to create Mandalorian armor costumes that look, feel, and function as if they have traveled directly from a galaxy far, far away.
Tom’s Mandalorian character “Mandalore the Uniter” has been added to the list of STAR WARS™ “Legends” in both the books: “The Essential Guide to Warfare” and “Bounty Hunter Code”. Currently, Tom is producing the “Warmaster’s Workshop” educational tutorials that focus on building Mandalorian costumes from beginner to professional levels.
