Hey guys,

I'm in the process of negotiating an online purchase of one of the classic Woolwich field jackets in the standard red. The seller has provided some specific measurements of the coat, but the size tag is long gone.

I wanted to know whether anyone had the specific, standard measurements for each labelled chest size? I've scoured the internet, but to no avail. I'm looking for what should be a size 38 (my suit jacket size), but the seller has the listing up as being suitable for both a 38 or 40.

I've attached a photo of the specific coat in question, plus the logo tag to help date the coat (I'm certain they are post-47). Any suggestions on the standard measurements, plus how they fit in general would be a huge help!
