Details of an approved costume test from Captain America: The First Avenger have been posted online.

According to the website JoBlo, the superhero will don two outfits in the upcoming Marvel Comics adaptation.

Steve Rogers and his alter ego will appear in a primary costume inspired by the original comic books for his USO appearances, but later switch to an active duty suit that is more appropriate for combat.

"The suit actually has a practical WWII military look to it with some of the obvious Captain America flourishes that we would expect," read the site's description.

"It's hard to really pass judgement on a costume until you see it properly lit, in motion and doing what it's meant to do. But based on what I saw, I'm pretty impressed with how they were able to adapt the costume for the film."

The report went on to say that the final costume has a white base with two red utility belts acting as stripes, and includes a traditional army helmet rather than a cowl. The 'A' on the forehead remains and the Shield is true to the original design.

Directed by Joe Johnston, Captain America: The First Avenger is slated for release on July 22, 2011.
