Have male clothing sizes become more flattering over the last 30 years?

Bit off topic but still clothes related. Why must we have this daft thing that men's clothes button one way and women's another? Got a leather jacket of the late missus's that would look good on me but because of the button thing I would looks like a tranny if I wore it.

Is that a problem? What would MF do?

I very much doubt that anyone would notice you were buttoned the wrong way, but if it worries you, get a dressmaker to move the buttons to the other side - it's straightforward enough. Sew up button holes, put buttons on top so the sewing doesn't show, make new button holes on the other side.

It stops men wearing women's clothes therefore clothing retailers make more money.

I think most people aren't even aware of this, and wouldn't notice anyway? Maybe you move in more pretentious circles than me though

Are you seriously asking if 30" in the 70s is different from 30" today?

When we joined the EU, the inch was metricised from 25.4 mm to 25 mm.

Meddling cheese/sausage eating bastards! No wonder my old clothes don't fit me anymore.
