The DBSS looks too much like snow boots. Reminds me of when Pharrell wore these Nike snow boots. Almost the same silhouette, different colors.

Project No 8 is actually closed on Monday. I am not sure of what sizing they had available, but I stopped in yesterday to pick up the pants (I purchased the jacket a few weeks ago) and they had quite a bit in stock (jacket and pants).

The pants were 322 and jacket 630. I would say given the below, it is very comparable to Tres Bien prices.

Keep in Mind that US stockist have to pay import duties on their clothing which is reflected in the cost, and, depending on your luck, you may get hit with customs when ordering from Tres Bien. Also, the dollar got a little stronger the past few days due to the Europe Debt Crisis and volitility in the markets as investors again looked to the US treasuries for safety. The prices on Tres Bien in USD are the lowest I have seen them in a long time (possibly ever) as the prices in USD fluctuate daily on the site whereas US stores would have set their prices months ago. If US retailers have yet to pay the brands for the clothing, the US retailer looks to make out given current exchange rates.

they actually still have the orange suit available as of yesterday; it is a lovely fabric. Wish that i would have a place to wear it otherwise i would strongly consider purchasing.

The same people that make BoO and R&B Suits (thier higher end anyways) . . .martin & Greenfield in Brooklyn I think or something to that effect(?) . . . make their in house line of suits - Various Projects. Considering the price of the BoO and R&B suits (roughly 2k), the fact that their in house runs at about a grand or so is a great price. They will be getting their summer suiting in 3 weeks or so.

the slimness depends on which Gant line its from... if its from one of the more 'old guy' lines of gant then yeah, you're probably outta luck...but if its from rugger it could be decently slim
