I’m planing on making a costume of the version of Captain America from the image below. There are only 2 problems i’m having.
1) What type of coat is he wearing?
2) What are the goggle mask thing he wears called?
Any help would be very great full
Here’s the image Link:
FYI
I posted this in both the Comic category and the Halloween category. The reason why i’m posting this in the military category as well is because I think i’d get the a correct answer from here.

The coat is actually based on a post civil war shirt referred as a ‘bid front shirt’. Coats are over garments and are tucked into one’s trousers. The head piece appears to be a highly modified leather flying helmet and from what I can tell the goggles/eyepiece appear to be part of the helmet instead of being a seperate article. I’m sorry to tell that these two items are totally unlike any articles of American Army uniform of the Second World War era as well as any period before or after. I’m afraid that you will most like have to fabricate these two items in their entirity.
You should be able to find the M1 Helmet, reproduction M1943 Trousers, field boots, leggings and load bearing equipment easily enough. Good luck with the costume…

captain america sewing pattern?
i am dressing as captain america for halloween and i wanted some sort of sewing pattern to make it. The biggest problem i have had is how to make the helmet. if anyone has anything that can help me with this costume i would really appreciate it.

I looked at some illustrations online. Looks like you could use a pattern for a cloche like view C as the base, and attach the wings (try Crayola model magic for them), or you could attach wings to a bicycle helmet or a hard hat that you’ve trimmed the brim and visor from. Or a welder’s cap:

Try a blue coverall as the basis for the costume: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_3ZZVA45996801P and add the belt and boots:
Add some spats to the boots to give you big cuffs:

Linda asks…
Costume ideas for couples?
I know Halloween is a little over a month from now, but I like to plan ahead. My boyfriend and I are planning on dressing up together, and since I have an obsession with Captain America, we’re going to go as Captain America and either Agent Carter or Wonderwoman. However, he doesn’t want to wear the actual outfit, and I don’t blame him. Does anyone know how we could do it without buying a costume and still have him look like Captain America?
admin answers:
How about a Captain America kit – it has the mask and gloves anyway.
Either attach the emblem to his own blue shirt or get this one. It’s pretty nice.
Easy and not over the top – have fun!
Lisa asks…
Need money? I need two costumes made. Good ones.?
I need two new costumes made before Dragon Con and Halloween. I want to be Captain America for Dragon Con and Sexy big bad wolf for Halloween. I’ve been online and all those cheesy or cheap costumes don’t do it for me, but I can’t afford the super expensive ones, and they aren’t exactly what I want any way. If you are interested in making some money comment on here then email me and we can discuss prices and the costumes.
