Just ordered my suit, as well. Should be here in a couple weeks. I ordered a stock medium to see what the fit is like. I'm right around the "specs" they provided on the site, so we'll see how it turns out.

Unfortunately, I can't zip the top up all the way by myself, so I have to wait for Bucky to show up to give a full review on the top. The arms and shoulders fit well, so far. It's a little hard to flex due to my manly bulging thews, though. As with everyone else, the top is shorter than a normal shirt/jacket to give a better illusion of a one piece suit. I think I'm going to attach some snaps to the top and bottom so I can join them together. It's annoying that my belly button shows when I reach slightly above my head. Maybe I'll do it to the belt to give a little extra room to move around. More thought into this later.
how did you make your shield? is it a spun metal shield? or how did you make it?I received my cosplaysky costume in only five days from China, and I've been meaning to post my thoughts/review. As I was reading this posting I had several of the exact same thoughts and I'm looking for some advice on the bottom of the thread with some upgrades. I would have posted photos of it but mine are exactly like HPF.
--The suit looks great, and takes a helper to put on. My fiance had to zip up the back and help with the straps.
--The coat is a little short, but is designed to be that way. I ordered an XL, and while the pants are too big and need to be hemmed, the coat is a little small. I got the stock XL as I didn't want to delay shipping by a few weeks since I'd like to wear to a con.
--The harness and belt are NOT adjustable. They are loose on me, but that's better than too tight. Note: the numbers didn't line up for me, as the pants were 38-39", but my circumference is a 45". I wear 36" jeans a little loose on me. Anyway.
--The gloves, I have to say, aren't bad at all. I could replace them (see below).
1. I'm thinking of replacing the gloves with a leather pair I found on Amazon for $10, and getting boots with gaiters as others have suggested. Has anyone had any luck finding the latter?
2. I bought this and tried it with the whole getup, and it is H-O-T inside. I'm going with boxers and that's it folks, and it's stifling with this helmet. http://amzn.to/1AgPXIY Is there any other item that would work with the stealth suit, or am I destined to overheat in 15 minutes despite hydrating? I was thinking I could cut from the sides on the ears, but then the strap goes away.
3. I have this shield to go with it, and it's my pride and joy, but a little wonky to mount on my back. How could I mount this to this particular harness in the back?
Thanks for your advice guys.

Has anyone ever ordered the Winter Soldier Costumes from CosplaySky? We still need one of those and I don't know whether to make one or to buy it.
How's the fit around the waist on the bottom of the jacket? Does it match the fit of the pants waist?
Here's an update on my suit after being totally wiped down with acetone, the pants and the jacket taken in by a local seamstress for the sum total of $23. The belt and harness are on their way from Kingsley and I am working on the boot covers and gloves as we speak. Helmet was painted and assembled by me but made by Biggeek72, who now goes by the Rocketeer, or as I call him THE man.

PS- forgot that I still have to attach the rubber stripes I got from brandomack, also THE man.
AND I forgot that I need to install the shoulder pads and upper arm pads to make it look like I actually have some sort of physique
DAMN! I gotta lot of work to do before Halloween!!!
Link shows nothing.
Looks great
Hey guys, I am hoping you might be able to give me feedback. I've been reading through and most of you have gone the cosplaysky costume, correct? a fabulous captn. cosplayer I follow on instagram suggested I try an eBay version. however I have never bought a costume like this online before... and, well, I have a lot more curves than you gents. yup, I a lady. which make my sizing worries a little more. also I wanted to know what sort of time frame it took from order to in hand date? I'm hoping to have a capt stealth suit by mid October either way. (San Diego Comic Fest and Comickaze happen near the end of oct as does Disneylands halloween party, which I plan to be the captn for with a girl friend of mine who is planning winters soldier). any feedback is wonderful!
