Men's Vintage Jacket Sizing
Men's vintage jackets are sized by chest measurement. US/UK use inches (38, 40, 42). EU and USSR use chest circumference in cm divided by 2 (48, 50, 52). A chest of 100 cm = US/UK 40 = EU/USSR 50.
Men's Vintage Trouser Sizing
Vintage men's trousers measure waist in inches (US/UK) or cm (EU/RU). Soviet trousers use waist in cm. The key difference: vintage trousers measure at the natural waist, not the hip.
