Thanks Tommy! And yes, I'm a 40R in a suit - and my Buzz Ricksons L2-A is a 40 as is my ELC Irvin.
But my ELC RW B-3 and RW B-6 are both 42, as is my ELC Luftwaffe.
And my Aero ANJ-3 is labelled as a 44.
But I think the suit is the best rule-of-thumb for actual standard size.

And I know what you mean about getting to the Pop-up shop (that I saw in an email). It's like going to RAF Duxford to see the ELC tent - and I've even had the misfortune of being literally trapped in there for almost an hour - on my own - due to lashing wind and rains. Terrible! ;-) . The credit card ...it burns! It burns!!

Thanks for the info, looks like as someone whose arguably a 41, but wears the same size in most of the same jackets, I'd be fine with a 40. Last and slightly cheeky question, you couldn't tell me the pit to pit measurement could you?

Hi Tommy,
And yes I can as I have the sweater here at work with me today as, at the end of the work day, it's getting a wash and condition to soften down the wool and I leave it here to dry on towels and it'll be dry by Monday as the air in the hospital is so dry (A/C always on)!
