British Trousers Size Chart: How to Choose Your Size

British Combat Trousers PCS MTP are marked with their own sizing system, which differs from the familiar Ukrainian one. The table below shows how British sizes correspond to Ukrainian Armed Forces and NATO sizes, as well as to your measurements in centimetres. Below we explain how to read the markings and pick trousers that fit your build exactly.

How to Read British Trousers Markings

The label on British trousers shows a code made up of three numbers — for example, 70/68/84. According to the size chart, they correspond to:

• 70 — inside leg length, cm;
• 68 — waist circumference, cm;
• 84 — hip circumference, cm.

Go primarily by waist circumference and leg length — the hip circumference in the British cut has extra room and has the least effect on your size choice.

How to Take Measurements Correctly

Use a flexible measuring tape and measure your body, not your clothing. Measure the waist along the belt line, and the leg length from the crotch along the inside seam to the desired length. Don't size up "to grow into": allowance for base layers is already built into the cut, while the cuffs, waistband and drawcords let you adjust the trousers to fit. If you're between two sizes, go by waist circumference.
