This is a comparison photo of the Patterson film subject and reenactor Jim McClarin. The height is properly gauged. Jim is about 6’5″ in his boots. It is apparent that it is not the height that is the issue when it comes to considering a man in a suit. It is the GIRTH. The film subject is too large to be a human in a suit. Conclusion: The film subject is not a hoax.
