Any additional comments
I've used the pants pattern from this in the past and found it a good basic PJ pant. I think the pants are a bit more forgiving on big though because they can just be cinched in a bit more with the waistband elastic.

ETA: I did redraft the pattern by taking 1" from the center of each piece (4" total) on both the small and medium boys' sizes. I took a bit more than 4" off the neckband. I added an inch to the sleeve length and 1.5" to the bottom. The fit was much better this way. If you have the pattern and want to make it usable, it can be done.
