I think a lot of the problems come from a similarity with British inch sizes and the continental metrics.
Kurt Thune is metric so a 48 metric will be close to a 38 inch British. BUT! We have had several new jackets in our club recently from Gehmann that bear no ressemblance at all to any size including Gehmanns own size chart so there does also seem to be a bit of a lottery factor.
Good shooting
