Very clearly a stunt suit on a stunt double. Will not look like that on Evans in the final product.

Yeah, X-Men First Class is apparently set in the 60's. No idea if the WHOLE film is in the 60's or not but apparently much of it seems to be.

I'm sure the suit will look better than that in the flick, but the modern features of it are really disappointing. Why couldn't they have just kept his look era-appropriate? There are pads built into that thing that aesthetically would look too modern in a movie about the 90's.

Gahhh I was just going to add a thread about it...

It's the Marvel version of WWII. Super soldier serums, nazi robots, human androids that shoot fire and fly, atlantian princes, Skull faced leaders with cosmic cubes... etc. The ridiculous and the realistic mixed together are what Marvel history is about.
I have no problem with cool Retro futuristic Hydra soldiers and vehicles. It's like James Bond but WWII. Implausible but fun.
That stunt double sure looks goofy though.
Count me in none the less.

Let's keep two things in mind:
1.) A "stunt" costume is going to be less detailed, or to the extent that they want to highlight details, will be more overt in how it draws attention to those details. That's because the stunt costume will be used while there is much rapid movement on the screen. You won't notice the imperfections, because he'll be too busy whizzing by on a bike for 0.8 seconds in that one shot.
2.) I expect it'd be a bit "blousier" so that it moves more easily for action sequences. This could either end up being not particularly noticeable (depending on how the action plays on screen or is framed), or might be CGed to correct it.
I'm less worried about the doofy look of a stunt costume than I am about a doofy looking "hero" costume.

Good point!
I bet that the stunt man's helmet has an actual protective shell and padding to it and perhaps wider eyeholes for visibility.

Is the Captain wearing a CODPIECE or is he just happy to see the girls?
I'm going to guess some sort of protective 'cup'? He is a stunt double after all... wouldn't do to have some stunt go awry and their stuntman wind up curled up on the ground whimpering for his mommy... :angel

It must not be seated very well, look at the lady's hand. She looks like she's adjusting *something*! :lol

Yeah, his jacket... both of HER hands are up near his head and shoulders area. The hand down near the waist level belongs to the guy standing behind them! :lol

Well you do know that stunt guys need baggy costumes to move around so that may explain that situation but as far as the pinstripes???? WWII Cap didn't have pinstripes!
Also how do they explain the "round" shield vs. the shield shaped shield....? Especially since S.H.I.E.L.D and Stark Industries had something to do with the construction of said round shield.....?

Well, they did state in the first Iron Man that Howard worked with the Manhattan project... it's not inconceivable that he created the shield (though I'd prefer it wasn't the round shield as well). S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't exist back then. They were just being known as that when IM1 ended.

Funny that in the concept pics there are no wings on the helmet and now there are painted ones that looks like the ones I painted over the concept images and posted here...:lol
But I'm sure it's just a coincidence
I still don't like that suit that much (and yes I know it's a stunt suit in the pics, I mean the design shown in the concepts).
But I like the "rocketeer" look they seem to aim for, at least for the villains!
But I'm absolutely not sold on it yet.
