Were the size tags in the WWII A2 jackets labeled as just a 40, or did they also use the the letter R, and L, like in a size 40R or 40L?
I'm guessing not, but don't know for sure.
Aero Leather were the only known exception, occasionally their size tags included the letter R ... probably they were using tags in stock, originally ordered for other garments.
Since this thread was started I have seen a RW 1401-P with an M next to the size on paper pocket tag. This is unusual for RWs I believe and is not present on the size tag on my RW from the same contract.
