anyone know?

[Man of Tanith]

What a size 3 in british army issue clothing translates into?
I have my eye on a wool shirt on the evil bay that runs out soon

It's an old one then... Size three is too small for me, I think it is/ or was about a 36- 38 chest, but it depends on the item and the manufacturer.

 

[Man of Tanith]

Hmmmm possibly a tad small for me then

Though it is for jackets rather than shirts.
