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.
