So after a nice day a work and the rain coming down I thought I would sit in the green house and dye the suede and add the laces to the boots Ive put a before and after shot and the one with me wearing them in jeans is the final shot to give a taster of what they would look like with the blue suit trousers..
let me know what you think

Those couldn't be any better! Nice work

Boots are nice but this highlights the problem when a movie takes historical elements from two different items and makes them one.
We who want to emulate have to jump thru hoops.

The jeans make for an excellent teaser shot.

Just from the boots and star, this is going to be a fine uniform.

We need more Captain America and less Iron Man.
 
Re: Which Base suit for the Captain America; Now a build (WIP)

thanks fly.. i making slow progress but aiming for the best items i can afford instead of rush buying and not being happy with the end product! and i agree less ironman and more cap and thor but I would love an ironman suit one day
 
Re: Which Base suit for the Captain America; Now a build (WIP)

Unfortunately, Iron Man is what I have been asked to make. Going to try and hold out for Iron Patriot but I don't think it will fly.
That is why I am so happy that fellow in France has that five day I.M. suit.

Received my suit from Hello Cosplay today. Thought I would share this pic as I had them modify the back to be a single strap like in the movie. Yeah, it's not perfect, but at least it gives me something to work with. All in all, for the price, I am pleasantly surprised. They made it according to my measurements and they did a pretty good job, but the neck opening, like on others, is too big. It looks like that should not be a huge alteration problem.

Looks better than they originally had it, the main thing I like out the hellocosplay version is the shoulders, they have the nice padded shoulder bits but other than that I'm still a fan of the other version, look forward to seeing your modifications dude, good luck :)
 
Re: Which Base suit for the Captain America; Now a build (WIP)

They did a good job on the straps. Should be very easy to insert the star buckle.
For those that may be ordering a suit do we ask for a Louie? and was there any additional cost?
Really looking forward to seeing this completed.

If you post a full shot, not to be to probing, but can you include your height and weight.... just as a reference for us big kids.

Need more Caps to displace all these Iron Men.
