To be honest i normally(not sure why) go mostly for stuff that fits me but couldnt resist these due to the early type size label.

Yeah me too,I normally try and get stuff in my size, dunno why though because I DO NOT wear any of it,strange but common phenomenon it would appear in us collectors.
But on serious note, the label does these justice

Uniform sizes
Hello,
Congradulations Rich. Those are the nicest pair of early sized and dated trousers I have seen in a while.
Regarding wearable sizes in our collections. I used to be into that habit when I started collecting. As I have aged and gotten bigger (height and width),I find the size is the least important of the four criteria I use to add something to my own collection.
Most importantly is if I want the item, secondly the age/date thirdly the condition and finally the size.
I have in my later years picked a happy medium so the items will tend to fit on mannequins.
Not that I wouldn't wear any of the pieces that are in my size (180/112) I do not want to have to replace a piece that is already in the collection because of some stupid accident while wearing it.
