His fork measured 28.5mm which = 1.122", or 1-1/8"

To the OP, Forks are measured by the OD and as you noted, the standards are inch sizes. I don't get you, you measured your fork yourself and came up to 28.5mm or just under 1-1/8" and yet you so readily accept 1" (25.4) as the correct fork. You were better off before you asked.
