Though my set is missing 2 buttons, they were marked for them but not installed. Nato size/shape/color buttons*. Sizes are a little tricky but the pants fit as sized, keeping in mind they are ment to go over clothes. The Jacket, as mentioned before, fits large. Clothes and armor under the jacket would be fine. My set is labled as 50/5. 5 being a length of the pants and jacket. I'm 5'10" and ordered the suspenders in a 3-4 (shorter), glad I did as they are not adjustable. Thanks again to the team at Ai Tactical Solutions.
