Captain America fans across the world have flocked into cinemas to see this year's release of the film, and with this surge in popularity it is expected that Cap will be arriving on doorsteps looking for candy. With this in mind, the Captain America Halloween costume should be easily obtainable.
Most costume stores should carry the outfit, but with the low price tag can come the low quality and some fans may not be content with the looks given. Superheroes typically have a high standard of looks, and an avid fan might want to emulate this, though specialist stores are often incredibly expensive.
In order to make your own costume, the first step is deciding which style to pay homage to. In the film we see the hero using a firearm, whilst in comics he was a hand to hand specialist. This is not only an aesthetics dilemma to consider, but also a legal one as the police patrol looking for deviant revelers.
Similarly, the shield Cap uses has typically been a circular type, but he has on a few occasions used a heater shield. The round shield measures at 2.5 feet wide, so plastic or something similarly light might be the preferred material to use rather than the vibranium-iron alloy in comics.
Decorated in red, blue and white with stars and stripes, the image is a patriotic one, topped off by the freedom wings at the side of the head representing the liberty eagle. The mask is blue, and has eye holes and a gap for the nose and mouth.
The torso in the comics was made of something akin to scale, but cloth should be a viable alternative. Light blue in colour, a five point star, in white, is across the center of the chest. Around the abdomen a circle of red and white vertical lines gives a girdle appearance to the suit.
The torso's blue stops at the arms as it approaches the elbow and is changed for a white, which seems to extend all the way to the hands. Red gloves cover the white, though, and stretches towards the elbow, making it difficult to determine. The trousers are blue, and boots are red, in a folded over design which may be difficult to acquire in stores.
The circular shield has three rings of red, then white, then red, and blue at the center with a white star similar to the chest. The heater shield has three stars at the top on a blue background, and vertical lines with blue in the center and edges, flanked on each side by whites, and two reds flanking those.
