If its dated 55 its almost certainly going to be a 49 pattern (cut with an open collar).
size 2 is minute. In the UK the usual size you see if size 13 and these go for five quid, sensible sizes more like 25 to 30.
I tend to use size 2-4 jackets for serge to repair and replace parts as no one over 7 years old can fit in one 
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
Well.. i said i'd never do it but 'work in progress' US kit for 'the last bullet' in march.
This is all stuff put together from just odds and ends in the house so its currently farby as hell.
Sgt Heide is sorting me out better webbing, i'm borrowing a tankers jacket and i need to buy an officer side cap and some rank pins!
Anyone with cheap/spare US kit they can part with let me know i might be interested!

Ah, well damn. 
Oh well, I guess I'll hold onto it for the same reason you've done - spare serge. My Greek BD has some fairly large moth holes on the side that could use a repair.
Thanks everyone for the great info!
The best thing i've found for 'invisible' repairs is to put a small patch of serge under/inside the holed area and copydex it onto the garment.

You'll deffo want a shirt too - any khaki one will do under a jacket.
My British WW2 impression.

Pics are a bit small, if anyone can resize them that would be great.

if you upload them elsewhere - picasaweb, facebook etc - and then link then to the page that tends to work best I have found, I don;t think they can be made bigger after uploading here, that has to be done before had.
looks good, from what my old eyes can make out.

Needs some blanco but looks fine otherwise.

Thanks guys, Wladek they are on photobucket but they wouldn't show up on the forum when I tried to insert the images and my mum really doesn't want me putting them on Facebook as people will make assumptions that could endanger me. And poacher I haven't added Blanco because I want to be able to use the webbing set for a variety of different fronts but I'm looking into getting another set and blancoing it 
That is one of the hairy ballaches of doing Brit airsoft, having at least 2 sets of webbing to save repeatedly washing and blancoing dependent on theatre, and maybe 3 if you want to do early war. Is a 4th required for far east? Haven't been down that road yet.
Not forgetting the items which you bought to use but are so pristine you cannot bring yourself to use them.!!

War does not show who is right, only who is left..
Looks great killacommy, a few 'touches' needed but for s first impression I'd say that's pretty darn good.
Thanks for all the kind words . I'm probably going to get some pics up of my kd kit for the Crete game as soon as I've got it all together.

Heh.... "yet"... heh... 
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
There is no such thing as too many sets of webbing!
Heh, you haven't seen my bedroom...

No...
