Yeah i say hair, usually i nthe Ultimates it's kinda slicked back, but hey, you coudl go for the Cap from that "truth" series or whatever there was a few years back, and not need to change it!
Now are you going for Ultimate Captain America or a modern day Captain America?
The way you're describing it along with the picture don't make me think "Captain America the Superhero", they make me think "Captain America the soldier who fought for his country," I'll explain. It looks like just an everyday soldier that decided he was going to represent his country to the fullest. He adopted Cap's shield and uniform, but kept his army fatigues and standard equipment. He's not a "super-soldier," he's a dedicated one.
As for the rag, I personally think hair would be better. I don't know that rag just doesn't "feel" right. [img]confused.gif[/img]

Where did you get that shield?
Marvel Legends Ultimate Captain America.
I'm so into the Ultimates line right now, that I think my goal is to have my own "Ultimate" of each character.
A custom Thor would be fun... I'll likely use a combination of McFarlane parts like a Conan figure with some articulation like a Marvel Legends figure. I want each figure to 1) Look cool and 2) have cool articulation if possible.
Too many of the Marvel legends figures as-is are wonky looking.
The Marvel Select Ultimate Ironman just stands there like a scarecrow.... but If I can track down one of him, I've got a Baron-Karza-ish magnetic takara figure that would make a great donor skeleton and allow the ultimate in articulation, but I could swap heads and arms with the magnets so it would look like he "removed his armor".

Now are you talking about like 'Ultimate Nightmare' comic set?
You (or anyone) have a reference pic of what you're trying to go for?
I have the trades at home that I could scan some pics of.
When he pays a visit to Thor in the NY Club, or goes to beat the ugly out of Henry Pym in Chicago, both times he has his Cap suit on, no mask, and is wearing loose army pants, boots, and an unbuttoned army jacket. I'm guessing either the sleves are short, or he has them pushed up because he has the jacket sleeves rolled.
I was thinking on making the headbandage into part of the mask, like he pulled part to show his real face.....
It's a tough choice, but I could go more semi-comic accurate like this...
Personally, I kinda like the head tassle thingees... like he ties his mask on or something.

I like that mask, but I prefer him with the short sleeve though.
