Captain America Costume from The First Avenger Movie

[Egon Spengler]

So far this looks cool.

Has anyone seen a good back shot in the second suit?

 

[EvilRocketeer]

not a big fan of the super nazis on motorcylces...but the 1st gen costume and red skull looks pretty cool...hopefully, this movie will do well

If anyone can find fabric with the proper herringbone pattern width for the later costume, my hat's off to you. I've been searching for months for something similar (In a cream color) for my Doctor Horrible costume, and everything I've found is WAY too wide.

If anyone makes any discoveries in that regard, please post them up!

Hey bros, this guy:
What Price Glory - US HBT Trousers
Does tons of reenactment stuff (looks like he did Flags of Our Fathers), and he does a lot of WWII USMC HBT.
He's a bit of an irascible old bugger, but he certainly has a source for the fabric, whether or not he could help you get some before the OD dying, I don't know.
But he's as OCD for detail as everyone here (and yes, I mean that in the very best way possible), so he might well be approachable for project stuff.

A bit odd... But not as bad as the new spiderman.

At least Cap's "cap" makes more sense to be a WW2 type helmet than a spandex or rubber skull... err... cap?

This one might really turn out to be a good one. I can't wait to see Hugo as the red skull! That was surely a great casting choice.

I am almost done with this costume. I will post pics soon!

Don't think this has been posted yet...

Hmmm... he doesn't look like Johnny Storm, but in that last shot there he doesn't look like Steve Rogers to me. And the soldiers in the background look kind of silly. I geuss those might be the capekiller armor they're wearing? Shield agents perhaps?

I was looking at the soldiers in the background also. The silver armor pieces on the chest/shoulders remind me of War Machine. It has me hoping that this is a shot from the Avengers or the end of First Avenger (setting up for the Avengers)....

plus, Capt's suit looks to modern to sell it was made for WWII.

The soldiers in the back ground are Hydra soldiers. As to the suit looking too modern, it's based off of a WWII airman's jumpsuit, so it's for the most part period accurate.

Cap looks great, but the robo soldiers look stupid.

 

[Bimmer]

Well doesn't Iron mans suit look "too modern" for todays technology? It was created by one of that time periods greatest minds..Howard Stark (Tony's dad). Thats reason it looks modern.. Its ahead of its time like all cutting edge technologies of their day.

I think it looks great and can't wait to see Cap kicking butt!

 

[mez7]

everything hydra uses looks too modern....

the motorcycles, subs, hydra soldiers.....look at the machine hugos using ...nothing looks WWII at all....

ill be honest, im worried for this one, mostly due to the choice of director.
jurrasic park3 was just derivative of the 2nd...wolfman was a huge mess of a film,

he hasnt made a good film in 10+ years, so why they chose him to helm this pic is beyond me.

 

[GeneralFROSTY]

His WWII leather jacket looks pretty sick - no doubt Magnoli will be looking to offer one of those in the future.
I really dig the classic look and I hope we see some vendors come out with some impressive items to sell for this costume.
I have some high hopes for this movie, but it takes a back seat to Green Lantern for me - GO DC!!!

 

[CJ 617]

Really loving the look to Cap's uniform.....can't wait for July!

 

[Sporkey]

New shot

 

[MauiBeachBumm]

Looks like a nomex style suit.

 

[Pandemic]

New issue of Empire magazine arrived today with Cap on the cover and some awesome shots of the costume inside. Also since I'm a subscriber I get the 'limited edition' cover with no text covering the front cover. There's pictures on the Empire website but with the text covering some of the details.
