This might be a tad divisive among fans, but Captain America's (Chris Evans) classic suit he wears for the back-end of his MCU debut is a gleefully nostalgic delight.

Far away from the sleek battle-suits that became popular in the mid-2000s onwards, Cap's first suit for field combat feels a distinct product of the 1940s without being embarrassing or cringe-worthy. That's a fine line to walk.

It's certainly miles ahead of his garish The Avengers suit and has decidedly more character than his more muted costumes in recent movies, lovingly evoking the campy origins of the hero without taking things even a step too far.
