I am pretty sure this M fits like a 42, these are the measurements given by HH121 in his thread:

Shoulder s to s: 19.29
Back from base of collar: 25
1/2 bottom: 19.68
pit to pit: 22.04 Fits much larger than measurement suggest
Sleeve straight from shoulder seam: 25.59

That's a perfect fit for me and i am usually a 42.


The pit to pit is exactly what stopped me from buying this!!! Go figure!

Would you say that a Pike Medium would fit a 40-42R (closer to a 40R or a 42R)? What about the RMC, what would be the "number" for a 40-42R?
My medium Pike bro’s is not a trim fit but not loose either. About 20” across the shoulder and 24” p2p. I could swing a sledge in it all day unrestricted. I’m 5’11 215lbs. I think I’d be swimming in the large but unable to put on a small. So the medium is my Goldilocks.

In December I wrote to Pike Bros to inquire about correct sizing for a N-1. I gave them my mensuration (5'9, 160-165 lbs, muscular built, long arms, flat stomach, etc.).

This is what they replied in an email:

"thank you for your email.
It is always hard to say, you are between M and L I think.
So you have to know, that the body from this jacket is not slim, it is more wide.

Maybe a size M is correct, but I´m really not sure, I'm sorry.
thank you for your email.

Now there is more than 2 inches and 50 pounds difference between you and me. Your chest also appears somewhat wider (I've seen some of your pics with the N-1). I usually wear a 40R suit (waist 30-31) and a 40-42R jacket/coat, depending on the maker and design (FYI A LW 40R Suburban is very slim, a 42R leaves plenty of room for layering). After reading your previous posts concerning the sizing of your Pike N-1, I was a bit puzzled. I believe I have to go with the medium (I did order the medium), but I'm afraid it might be too blousy, even though I want to wear a thick submariner wool sweater under my N-1, not just a t-shirt or a shirt. Hopefully, my particular color back-ordered and there is still time for me to change my order. But should I?

I’d start with the medium. For a layer it might well be perfect. I can get a flannel under mine but not a thick hoody or sweater. While it’s certainly warm enough for just a T underneath...it’s far too itchy for me.

Med is right for you with a heavy sweater. You could put on a small over a tshirt and fashion model but not live in it. A large would be a joke. I’m 5’10” 150# I started with an xs and it was as described, ok for a picture but lousy to live in.
Fwiw these were never meant to be trim jackets and if you want a somewhat accurate representation of the original design it will be a bit boxy.

It's crazy to think someone 5’11 215lb and someone 5’10” 150lb would fit the same size so well!
Your jacket looks like a great fit and i would never have guessed you wore the same size as Tony.
