Very cool. I would like the one inch more sleeve length.
What colour/model is this?
It's already at my knuckle if I straighten the sleeve, don't feel any need to go longer :)
It's the 1944 waxed khaki.
I wonder if anyone ever managed to fasten the throat latch on these. I definitely can't.

Looks fantastic on you! I remember my first Pike N1 looked as good on me (edit: see proof further down), but back then I was thin and could wear ...don't know if it was S or M. Sleeves were trimmer than on all the Pike ones I tried on later.
Did I say "Don't worry, it's just not for me, you may actually like it (many do) and it may fit better on you because you can wear it in a smaller size and this can actually be the factor."??? And I strongly believe it IS a factor. I remember Bfd70 looked similair good in his Pike N1 - many years ago! (edit: see proof 2 further down)

I wonder if anyone ever managed to fasten the throat latch on these. I definitely can't.
I always hold the latch over my kettle and steam it, then carefully pull it a little longer and iron it. I even displace the small button a bit. This helps.

That's the one for you! one of the best fitting example I've seen, very nice :)
Agree!

Here is the proof :)
Must have been one and a half decade ago here on the Lounge with very poor foto quality. I wish I'd have my figure back.

That did fit amazing indeed! I found that the Pike N-1 had very high arm-holes that made the jacket kind of restricting if you didn't get the size just right(but looks amazing when you do!) :)

I was in-between a size small and medium, while the size S looked good length wise and in the body, I had a hard time moving my arms freely and the medium looked a bit to baggy in the body imo.
