It's not looking super-likely though if you've got skinny rims, the 28s will tend to stay a bit skinnier, obvs so it might fit with enough room (especially if you're only on road where mud isn't much of an issue). But with older steel frames you'd tend to get a bit of flex so you might find if they're too close they'll rub but only occasionally. If you're near west london I have a fucked 28mm Pro4 Endurance (which are actually true to size unlike GP4000 which are more like 31-32mm) you can try for size.
Turbo Cotton come in 26 but I think the carcass is the same as the smaller size and just the tread rubber is wider. Also expensive and race tyres so not so durable.
hippy

I understand I should probably get some callipers but don’t have any just now.. looking to fit the biggest tyres I can on this bike. These are 25c vittoria rubino pro 3s. I was hoping to fit 28s but just not sure if they’ll clear it and can’t afford to buy a pair that end up not fitting.
If not 28s is there a decent 26c I can buy? Or are there 25s that always come up wider than measurements? I’ve read that schwalbe are generally a bit wider than their stated width. Any help would be appreciated!
