If you compare the size 48 vintage with a modern in size 48, think ELC, I wonder if they fit the same?
If they made their jackets from original patterns , which I’m sure they did . They should have been able to scale up the sizes accordingly so that the sizes should be very close. I know that JC at GW does that very accurately .

thank you very much Sir!
I love the trousers - BR M1943 HBT - they go along very well with all Air force jackets and with the C-2 vest along as well...
I really love the wide cut of 1940s trousers, way better than this slim and slim fit trash that's en Vogue these days....
They're perfect! Oh boy, don't start, you're preaching to the choir.... there's a reason everyone wore wider cuts back then - much more flattering to the human body type!
