Jacket size is based on chest and sleeves. For example, if your chest measures 44 inches and you shirt is 16x35 (16-inch neck and 35-inch sleeves) you'd probably wear a 44L suit. The end of the sleeves should come just to the wrist and be a couple of inches shorter than your shirt sleeves.
Suit sizes don't specify trouser size because of 'drop.' The standard drop varies; for example, a 42L suit usually has a 6-inch drop, meaning its trousers have a 36-inch waist. Good suits come unfinished, allowing for individual tailoring. Any respectable clothing store has a tailor on the premises and will charge only a small fee to alter a suit you didn't buy from them. By the way, there is a difference between European and American cuts. As a general rule, Euro-fit is a size larger than American--a European large is like an American medium.
