Eaglehurst Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Does anyone know or have a sizing list for the pre-metric (ie SIZE only on label) tropical trousers. 53,60 and 68 all work to the 1-9 small, medium, large and short, average, tall logic and whilst the shirts seem to follow that system the the trop trousers are a law unto themselves eg I have a pair of size size 23 trousers that are not quite big (long) enough!! Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer nut Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Mine are size 22 which are a 36" waist (need to put a gusset in to fit me ( ) Someone told me they went up to Size 27. The new Metric sizes also I think are in 27 sizes on a similar size basis. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdbikemad Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Thanks Jon - this is helpful. So size 27 biggest then.... The August 1986 QMs CG (combat clothing) catalogue lists the DPM tropical jacket in Metric Sizing but the trousers under the older numbering system !!??? Size 1 (8415-99-132-3770) through to Size 23 (3792).....size "Special" is NSN 3793... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer nut Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 My Size 22 is 8415-99-132 3791 and is roughly a size 36" so asuminig they go up by 2" the last size available is a size 38", I can see a problem already. Size 9 trousers are a 40" waist'ish. So the question we got to ask is hat are the actuak sizes available?? Ta Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(no bargains though, 'cos I've been there before you ! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
