You know, if those close-ups didn't exist of that red on the pants, I think we all would've missed it. Nearly impossible to notice in the trailer footage.

That's smart. I'll look into that for the stars & stripes.

The holster is from "Classic Old West Styles" or "COWS" (lol) based outta El Paso, TX. The leather is a little lighter than I'd like so I'm going to try to find a good way to darken it up. I am unfamiliar with how the Hot Toys version attaches, so that's something I may look into. What...

Used my TFA Costume at the Avengers last summer. Working on TWS version for that premiere in April.

Not to double post, but I've got some progress on my suit. Got a shield harness working, though I'm trying to figure out the best way to make an attachment that'll work. Right now the back side of the shield simply has two straps and I've looped a third strap around those two and the back of...

What's the color of the material you're using for the suit? Looks gray-ish in most of the photos.

That's a great idea, grey matter. However, I've just decided to go a different route instead of risking an expensive set of Combat Trousers. Workin on this costume and I've decided on a basis for the uniform. 511 Tactical makes a Rapid Assault Combat Shirt, available in a dark blue color...

I know I'm gonna have to build the shirt/jacket, but I've been trying to find an easier way to get the pants. There's these tactical pants that have knee-pads built in that, with a little modification, could look the part. Trouble is, I can't seem to find a company that makes 'em in navy...

Doing a build like this myself, so certainly going to keep an eye on this one. I've been trying to figure out how to approach the shield holster thing. A modified leather shoulder holster should work, but I'm gonna have to get creative to make something tough enough to hold up as that X...

Links don't work for me, steamshovel. I'm in the preliminary phases of starting up the "stealth suit", hopefully have it done in time for the Premiere in April. It was fun going to The Avengers in my TFA uniform. The more I look into it, the more I discover. I initially thought they had...

Since I saw it this summer, Captain America's costume in The First Avenger has quickly become one of my favorites. So much so that I kind of pulled out all the stops to make a decent costume for Halloween for it. Now I know all the fuss right now is about Universal Design's Cap costume, but...

I've got one. It's a good quality jacket and it'll look the part except for the big zipper seam between the white star. Also, the brown on the gauntlets is much brighter than I would've liked. Finding gloves to match them has been next to impossible, so either re-dye/recolor the gauntlets to...
