In The Mandalorian, we see moff Gideon in his adapted Death trooper armor. Obviously we have no sign of him during the actual Galactic Empire reign and all we know is that he wore his custom armor in the neo-imperial timeline.

However, this made me wonder the following: During the imperial era, we only really see moffs wearing their formal uniforms, but would they've had the freedom to design and wear their own armor kit if they so wished?

I'm aware that their jobs were mostly tactical and political in nature, but I cannot help but wonder. To me, it's not crazy to assume that some moffs would've liked to be involved more closely around combat zones or at least would've wanted to look more intimidating and demand more authority around battlefields.

Then the question remains: Would they've been allowed to by Palpatine?

What do you guys think?
