How size 48 is worked out
A men's EU size is half the chest: 48 means a 96 cm chest. UK and US jacket sizes are the chest in inches: 38.
For trousers the waist decides – about 88 cm for this size (W35).
For a suit: length by height
Suits also come in height fittings: shorter men (up to ~176 cm) get half the number – 24 – and tall men (from ~186 cm) the doubled numbers (90–110) in German sizing. The maker's chart gives the exact match.
