WWII Dated Coveralls

[john hoffman]

Greetings. My experience with sizing .... I got a period tank suit off U-pay from a gal in the UK, nice Lady, but she was wrong about it being a size 50. What I found is this: if the garment has a sewn on waistbelt, the correct and actual size is what the belt fits at it's fullest adjustment. I have a second tanksuit, belt is 56-inch long - prefect for my 'large' frame.

Hence, the smaller tank suit I speak of is actually a size 46, fits a bloke about 5'6" tall, just has lots of room in the body for being worn over uniforms, etc.

There is usually a tag sewn in near the elastic gathering at the wrist, right arm usually, but the tag on the smaller suit was washed out and told nothing useful.

Cheers, Johnnie.

Thanks Jeff.

Very pleased....... but I lost ownership...... they are way to small for me and plans are top use it to make a pattern for my size.....\

....but the wife tried them on and they fit her perfectly..... so she says she is keeping them for when I give her a ride in my truck.....

Now to find a competent seamstress to make a pattern....

Hi Bob,
Thanks for letting me know they arrived OK. Glad they will be put to good use. Hopefully the wife won't want to spend MORE time in the truck.
