However, we have to use the labels to provide a tracking system for the stock we have available. So the sizes we list will have some interesting additional letters and numbers for our purposes.
Here's a few examples with a brief overview to explain a few of them.
British system
For example - 170/84 = suitable for a person of 170cm height with 84cm waist
German system
For example - GR7 = suitable for a person of 170cm height with 84cm waist
Austrian system
For example - 96/100 i/ii = suitable for a person of 170cm height with 96cm waist
(i/ii = short, iii/iv = regular height, v/vi = tall and vii/viii = extra tall)
French system
For example - 88C = suitable for a person of 170cm height with 88cm waist
(C refers to short, R is Regular, L is Long)
Dutch system
For example - 6080/7080 = suitable for a person of 170cm height with 84cm waist
(The first four digit number i.e. 6080, refers to a height range of 1.80m to 1.90 metres tall. The second four digit number refers to the chest or waist size range, depending on the garment)
Other nations use a variety of random numbering methods where a number is allocated to represent a set height and chest/waist.
Therefore, you can see why we use the simplified method of measuring, and stating chest, waist, jacket drops etc to help you decide.

These "Gore-Tex" trousers are genuine military surplus. They are made from waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex-like MVP material that allows sweat to escape in the form of moisture vapour, while keeping out wind and rain.
Their light blue colour reflects the RAF uniforms and also provides a slightly less militaristic appearance for the retail market.
See our technical notes page regarding Gore-Tex.
Other features of these pants include:
Please note: May or may not have elasticated back, as seen in photographs
Very important note on sizing – This item is designed to be worn as an over trouser, as a waterproof hard shell over jeans or work trousers. So they are a generous cut to allow for layering and movement. The sizes quoted are therefore listed for a wearer of the sizes quoted, wearing any under trousers, thermal etc and therefore the garment will actually have a waist measurement in excess of the sizes given. If you have any questions about these "Gore-Tex" over trousers please email sales@fu-kit.com.
