Correct size has arrived...

A word to the wise. When measuring your size for these shorts, remember that the size is a direct measurement of your waist size, measured about 1" above your navel, due to these shorts being designed to be worn high-waisted.
Also remember to take the measurement over the top of a shirt if you intend to wear them with a shirt tucked in.
I ordered the 44 based on the above and have found no problem with length of buckle straps etc. They are long (below the knee) but this was the style of these shorts compared with earlier models, and I find the cross-over strap method of fastening a lot more comfortable than the earlier front buckle method.
I suspect that I am a size in between 42 and 44, but you can't expect Jerry to carry a huge number of half sizes.
After all, this is military issue type kit and I suspect, as per 'back in the day', you'd take the best fitting size you could get and then take it to the nearest tailor for custom alterations.

Too small but customer service response was top notch!

I'd made a mistake re. waist size when ordering these shorts, so placed another order for shorts in the correct size and requested that this order be deleted...
Due to WPG incredibly fast delivery, by the time I was requesting the above, the first order had already been shipped!
WPG, however, refunded me the cost of the first order and even now is trying to save me the postage cost of returning the first order of the too small shorts by trying to find someone in Australia who's after this size!
Told 'em, just give me an address to send them back to, & I'll pay the postage...
And I thought customer service had all but died out...
Nice work, WPG..keep it coming!
