Not necessarily. This movie doesn't take place in the real world. It takes place in the cinematic Marvel Universe. A place where we can have indestructible shields of unknown alloys, super-soldier serums, and (speculation) a young Howard Stark creating some kind of proto-Kevlar armor for America's super-soldier in the early 1940's. Let's face it, it makes more sense than chain mail or no armor at all.

Personally, I'm not sure what you're seeing about the movie outfit that's so drastically out of touch with the period. Helmet? Check. Web gear? Check. Baggy pants? Check. Combat Boots? Check. About the only thing that looks potentially "out of period" is the upper chest portion of the costume, and even that's not exactly Iron Man level tech.
