Scotch Harry Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I have a few stored away and will check sizes but pretty sure they are,as are most,small sized. Diolch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rootes75 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I have just bought one off ebay for myself, I found there are plenty on there to choose from and plenty of varying sizes. I would say that buying the battledress Blouse is fine but finding battledress trousers is another matter, they seem to be thin on the ground.

Rootes75 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 The Battledress Blouse I bought arrived today, superb condition. 49 pattern date stamped 1951. I collect Royal Navy Uniform usually but wanted a battledress that fits me for some choice when we do events. Trousers, shirt/tie and a beret/sidecap next on the list.

wdbikemad Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Slick 50, you need a 15, or better, an 18........the latter was the largest standard one made....BD was grouped together in 3 widths per-height, eg: 1 - 3, 4 - 6, etc.......the widths being basically narrow, medium and wide.........see the attached chart for info....
