Hello all!
I'm seeking to recreate the scene in which Steve is introduced to the Vibranium disc shield by Howard Stark.
In that scene Steve is wearing a US Army officer's uniform that consists of standard issue US Army trousers, shoes, shirt, tie and what was known as an "Ike" jacket.
That jacket is a much more form fitting thing than the "Class A" tunic that most of us are familiar with. It's shorter - coming just below the belt line of the trousers - and it tapers down to the waist from the shoulders. As a costume choice goes, it's the perfect thing for a Super Soldier to wear and it is indeed visually distinctive from the standard Class A tunic.
So, that "Ike" jacket is essential to such cosplay. And I'm having a heckuva time finding such a piece of attire.
There's a number of "close but no it" offerings on Etsy which are of vintage jackets. Most of those are too worn or of the field version and not the "dress" version. Steve is very much wearing the dress version that is NOT intended for wearing out in the field. What Price Glory has some, as does Top Pots.
Does the assembled Cap's Crew here know of other resources?
Thanks!
